Pilot

Pilot provides outsourced bookkeeping, tax, and CFO services for startups and small businesses, combining a dedicated finance team with software that integrates directly with a company's bank accounts, payroll, expense tools, and billing systems. Every month, Pilot's bookkeepers categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and deliver accrual-basis financial statements designed to meet the expectations of venture investors and auditors, rather than the simpler cash-basis books many small-business services produce. Because Pilot was built for the startup market, it handles things like R&D tax credit claims, multi-entity structures, revenue recognition, and investor reporting that generalist bookkeeping providers often cannot. Customers get a single point of contact plus a dashboard showing burn rate, runway, and expense trends, and can add corporate tax preparation and filing so the same provider handles both the books and the return. Pilot's CFO services layer on financial modeling, budgeting, fundraising support, and board-meeting preparation for companies that need finance leadership before hiring a full-time head of finance. The service is aimed at seed to Series C companies that want reliable, investor-ready financials without building an in-house accounting team, and pricing scales with monthly expenses and the complexity of a company's operations and accounting requirements.
