User Testimonials
	Accounting Power	Pilot.com
Likelihood to Recommend	AccountantsWorld Retail, professional services, non-manufacturing, or non-inventory-based clients are a great fit. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. Pilot.com is a well-established solution that clearly works very well for early-stage startups like us that don't have a dedicated finance team/hires, and want to save as much time as possible closing books each month and filing taxes. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	AccountantsWorld Simple layout Logical menu and format Flexibility in designing reports Department/location accounting Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. Quick responses to questions submitted to support Integration with various banking systems and software, including HR systems and cap table system, which saves time when filing taxes Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	AccountantsWorld CPA firm's client interface for delivery of bills to pay Better ACH payment options for bill payment Additional layer of department/location allocation Invoicing option in mobile app Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. I would say that only room for improvement would be to offer more educational opportunities that explain what the numbers mean. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	AccountantsWorld I do not see a good alternative in the market Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. No answers on this topic
Usability	AccountantsWorld It provides everything one needs for accounting services and then some at a price point that makes it very affordable. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. No answers on this topic
Support Rating	AccountantsWorld Needs some work. Support staff seem to be computer people, not accountants or users of the system. Their answers sometimes seem short and computer-based. Not answered in a way that says, "I have thought through this and here is what I see to do." Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	AccountantsWorld Seek out others who have done it and learn from them. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	AccountantsWorld I find Accounting Power to have more flexibility, power, and reporting capability than QuickBooks Online with a simpler interface. Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. Pilot.com is reliable and trustworthy. You don't have to worry that your bookkeeper is going to retire (which has happened to us before) and that you'll need to start all over with someone new.

Return on Investment	AccountantsWorld Allowed for standardized processes Improved efficiency in disbursement processing Bank feed is easily broken ACH payment options are not well established Incentivized Steven Brewer Owner Read full review	Pilot.com, Inc. No answers on this topic
