I would definitely recommend Pilot.com for their accounting services. Their bookkeeping is very straight forward and reliable with a possibility to be as involved as you need to be. Their tax team is also great and very knowledgeable which comes in handy. They are also improving the scope of their services and features with a lot of new ones rolled out recently.

Bookkeeping outsourcing - these guys shine!

Rating: 10 out of 10

Pros

  • Every month, they handle our bookkeeping.
  • Every month, they manage our accounts payable.
  • Every month, they add new vendors as needed.
  • Every month, they maintain our QuickBooks.

Cons

  • Some issues on the onboarding, just defining the scope of the project. But they've refined it.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think they are a great fit for any small business looking for bookkeeping and even some ap services. I like all the financial reporting they do, which is something I would struggle with on my own.

Highly recommended for bookkeeping, tax, and CFO services

Pros

  • Books delivered consistently with high quality
  • Successfully handled tax filings and R&D credits
  • Built financial model and cash flow forecasts

Cons

  • Would be great to have an online financials dashboard
  • Sometimes would be good to have books earlier in the month

Likelihood to Recommend

Pilot is great for early-stage startups in any vertical. They handle the entire financial stack and will save you a lot of time on that front. Their CFO services are also great regardless of the vertical you are in. As a founder, this is something you shouldn't waste your time on, and with Pilot you can feel secure.

Great for small biz or startup finance!

Pros

  • Answering complicated questions about how to deal with sticky situations
  • Delivering the books on time every time

Cons

  • Honestly I don't really have any feedback - they've continued to add features and services at a pace that I think is impressive for a company their size and scope.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Pilot.com is great for small businesses or VC-backed startups in seed or series A stage, maybe series B. I think it would be so helpful in fundraising at an early-stage startup. We're a two-person company with a multi-million dollar budget, so it's helpful for folks like us to have an expert on hand.

Pilot.com is an excellent bookkeeper.

Pilot.com is the perfect bookkeeper for small businesses who do not have anyone dedicated to accounting. It is especially great for growth stage companies so can focus your resources on sales and product.

Trusted bookkeeping for early startups

Rating: 10 out of 10

Pros

  • 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

Cons

  • Further improvements in integration with various systems to automate closing books as possible, especially with modern banking systems like Rho
  • Faster time to close books

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Excellent reliable bookkeeper for mid-sized businesses

Rating: 8 out of 10

Pros

  • Tracks PayPal and Stripe membership transactions.
  • Tracks advertising payments.
  • Communicates clearly with us.

Cons

  • I would say that only room for improvement would be to offer more educational opportunities that explain what the numbers mean.

Likelihood to Recommend

Pilot.com is most appropriate for medium to large businesses that need amortization. It is not cheap so it's not meant for very small businesses that have simple financials.

Pros

  • Accounting parametrization.

Cons

  • More focus on the client needs.
  • Better interpretation of the data provided.

Likelihood to Recommend

The accounting integration works well once defined but also gives the sense that is a little bit blind, so you need to continuously take a look at the integrations made, so you cannot trust 100%. Also the robot it's a little bit blind so there is the need for a human to take a look at what the software makes. Definitely understand the client's business and needs are something to improve.
