  • 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
  • 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
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.
We compared Pilot.com to local, in-person alternatives and this was a clear choice. It was similarly priced but much more automated and with processes in place to work with companies like us. I found talking to local accountants more confusing than working with Pilot.com.

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