Ironback

What is Ironback?

Ironback is a dedicated AI operations partner that finds and captures hidden profit inside your business. Instead of selling software or strategy decks, they embed a senior partner and a build team into your operation to identify margin leaks—like missed calls, slow estimating, and unclosed quotes—then build AI-driven systems to fix them. The result is a measurable lift in EBITDA, which directly increases your company’s sale price at a typical 5x multiple.

Who it's for

• Business owners selling in 2–5 years – You want to add $150K–$400K in annual EBITDA to boost your valuation by $750K–$2M before exit.
• Founders too busy to optimize – You run a $3–$5M operation and know margin is leaking, but you don’t have time to chase it yourself.
• Operators tired of manual waste – Your team works hard, but manual processes in estimating, scheduling, and follow-up are burning cash every month.

Key features

Operational audit in 30 days

Ironback runs a full audit across seven categories—call handling, estimating, documentation, follow-up, scheduling, reporting, and more—and delivers a written Value Assessment with real dollar figures and EBITDA projections. The first build ships before the report is even finished.

Flat monthly retainer with no lock-in

After a three-month minimum, you can cancel month-to-month if the service isn’t paying for itself. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no handoffs—the same partner and team stay on your account.

AI systems wired into your existing software

Instead of replacing your tools, Ironback builds AI workflows that plug into what you already use. They handle call routing, automated follow-ups, faster takeoffs, and field data capture so your team can focus on revenue work.

Monthly reporting with dollar figures

Every month you get a report showing exactly how much was recovered, how much was saved, and what’s next. The partner who learned your P&L stays with you, so there’s no ramp-up or knowledge loss.

What stands out

“We find it, capture it with AI, and run it for you. At a 5x multiple, that’s $1.25M on your sale price.”

Ironback doesn’t just identify problems—they build the systems and run them for you. The entire model is built around a single partner who stays on your account, eliminating the typical consulting cycle of audits, recommendations, and handoffs. The focus is on that compounds your business value, not on delivering slide decks.
