Pillars is different
Pillars was founded in 2013 by investment bankers unsatisfied with the training their new analysts and associates received from traditional training firms. Instead of complaining about the state of training, they did something about it. They quit investment banking and decided to start their own training firm. Pillars has grown with its clients since. Why did the strategy work?
Pillars believes every client has different needs and expectations from their training partner. Today, clients not only expect superior live and webinar-based training, but also data to back up the training efforts. Pillars is a modern training firm that bridges traditional accounting, modeling, Excel, valuation, and capital markets theory with practical applications of these concepts and the demands for integrated data-driven outputs, HR-ready data models, and feedback portals.
To accomplish this task, Pillars follows a three-step process with every client to exceed their expectations as to what training will be.
Identify client goals
- You are not your competitors, so your training shouldn’t be the same as theirs. Tens of thousands of training hours around the world have taught us that training a group of 5 students is different than training 150, so let us help you ensure that your training isn’t “off the shelf.”
- We will listen to your goals and partner with you to achieve them.
Does your firm want quantitative data showcasing participant performance? Pillars delivers this data on a regular basis.
Present a custom-tailored training program that will target the stated goals
- You receive a custom-tailored training guide that identifies your goals and matches those goals to our recommended course offerings.
Sometimes, this means we need to create a brand-new course just for you! We love partnering with our clients to do just that.
Provide superior training that students love
- Live or on-demand
- Remote or in-person
