Pilot delivers AI-supported bookkeeping and finance services, plus the Meridian accounting platform.

What Pilot does

Pilot provides bookkeeping, tax and financial advisory services for startups and small businesses. Its delivery combines accounting software and AI with people responsible for the books, filings and management questions behind the numbers.

The bookkeeping service prepares financial reports and supports recurring close work. Tax, R&D credits, stock administration and outsourced operations address additional needs, while CFO services help with cash planning, scenarios, budgeting and strategic decisions.

Clients use dashboards, integrations and communication tools to inspect activity and work with the advisory team. Pilot also presents Meridian as an AI operating system for accounting firms. The company’s service offer remains oriented around completed accounting and finance work, rather than software access alone.
