Tax Credit Advisory
Tax Credit Advisory
Unlock Hidden Value. Turn Incentives Into Savings.
Every year, millions of dollars in federal and state tax credits go unclaimed — not because they don’t apply, but because they’re misunderstood, overlooked, or improperly documented. At Pillar Consulting, Inc., our Tax Credit Advisory service is designed to help business owners and investors identify, qualify for, and claim valuable tax credits that reduce liability and improve cash flow.
From startups to established enterprises, we help you stop leaving money on the table and start leveraging tax law to your advantage.
Why Tax Credits Matter
Unlike deductions, which reduce taxable income, tax credits directly reduce your tax bill dollar for dollar — making them one of the most powerful tools in your tax strategy. But most business owners aren’t aware of the credits they qualify for or how to capture them properly.
With our expert guidance, you can:
- Lower your effective tax rate
- Increase after-tax profit
- Improve cash flow and reinvestment ability
- Retroactively amend past returns (where applicable)
- Fund innovation, hiring, training, and growth with existing credit programs
Common Credits We Help You Access
Our advisors specialize in identifying and documenting high-value credits, including:
- Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit
Available to companies developing or improving products, processes, software, or technology — not just scientists in labs. - Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)
For businesses that hire employees from targeted groups (veterans, long-term unemployed, etc.). - Employee Retention Credit (ERC)
For businesses affected by COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 — often worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. - Energy-Efficiency & Renewable Energy Credits
For green construction, solar investments, and energy-saving building improvements. - Disabled Access Credit
For small businesses making facilities or services accessible to persons with disabilities. - Low-Income Housing & Historic Rehab Credits
For developers and real estate investors working on qualifying projects. - State-Specific Incentives
Kentucky, and many other states, offer targeted industry and hiring incentives that often go untapped.
Our Services Include
- Tax Credit Discovery & Qualification
We assess your business operations, hiring practices, investments, and innovations to identify eligible credits. - Documentation & Compliance Support
We ensure your credit claims are properly documented and audit-ready — a major reason why credits are denied. - Credit Calculation & Filing
We do the math, prepare the forms, and work directly with your tax filings or amended returns. - Credit Integration Into Tax Planning
We proactively incorporate tax credits into your broader tax strategy, not just as an afterthought. - Amended Return Analysis
We review prior-year filings to identify credits you may have missed — and help recover potential refunds.
Who This Is For
Our Tax Credit Advisory services are ideal for:
- Small to mid-sized businesses engaged in innovation or new process development
- Manufacturers, engineers, architects, software firms, and product developers
- Employers who hire from targeted groups or operate in underserved areas
- Real estate developers, builders, and renewable energy investors
- Any business unsure if they’ve left credits unclaimed in recent years
If you’re investing in growth, technology, people, or infrastructure — you may be entitled to credits you’ve never claimed.
