Finance & Admin

Managed bookkeeping with humans-in-the-loop plus AI categorization, on top of QuickBooks. Adds CFO services at higher tiers.

Overview

Pilot.com is the SMB / startup go-to when you want a real human bookkeeper backed by AI tooling, not a fully autonomous ledger. The base plan handles monthly close, reconciliations, and standard reports; higher tiers layer in fractional CFO advisory, tax filing, and R&D credits. Pricing starts around $499/month and scales with monthly expense volume. Best for businesses that want accuracy reviewed by a professional without putting an accountant on payroll.
