Financial services for startups and small businesses

About Pilot

Pilot provides financial services specifically designed for startups and small businesses. The company offers essential services such as bookkeeping, tax preparation, and CFO (Chief Financial Officer) support, allowing business owners to focus on growing their companies without worrying about financial management. Pilot's services operate on a subscription-based model, where clients pay a recurring fee to access a team of finance experts who handle their financial tasks. This model not only provides clients with predictable costs but also ensures that their finances are managed accurately and professionally. Unlike many competitors, Pilot targets the unique needs of startups and small businesses, which often lack the resources to manage complex financial tasks internally. With significant funding from notable investors, Pilot aims to continually enhance its services and expand its reach in the financial services market.
