Pilot Quality Check

Pilot is a bookkeeping, tax and CFO service for startups and small businesses that pairs software with US based accountants. The directory listing carries the name Pilot Quality Check, but Pilot does not market a product under that name today; the AI functionality now sits inside what Pilot calls its AI Accountant, which categorizes transactions, reconciles accounts, identifies vendors and generates financial statements, flagging only unusual items such as duplicate charges, unexpected amounts or new vendors for a human to confirm. The service suits founders and owners who want clean, tax ready books without running the process themselves. The AI Accountant connects to bank accounts and syncs data from tools such as Stripe and Gusto, learning from a company's own transaction history and from nearly a decade of bookkeeping data across Pilot's client base. On the Core plan and above a dedicated bookkeeper handles, explains and reviews the books, with an accrual basis option, bill management, a custom chart of accounts and reports delivered by the tenth business day. Pilot also sells tax preparation, CFO advisory and an outsourced operations service, and publishes industry solutions for AI startups, professional services, law firms, agencies, ecommerce and life sciences. Bookkeeping pricing is published. Essentials is $99 per month for cash basis books covering up to $100,000 in monthly expenses, with instant AI answers about past transactions and cash flow. Core starts at $299 per month billed annually and adds the human bookkeeper. Custom is priced on request for complex structures, full accounts receivable and payable, payroll administration and CFO advisory. Tax plans start at $1,000 per year for a single member LLC, $2,000 for partnerships and S corporations and $2,450 for C corporations. CFO services run from $1,750 to $5,250 per month billed annually.
