Have been a Pilot customer for a year and a half. Goodness gracious is it a great product. I never have to think about bookkeeping as a result. Look forward to using them for tax prep as well.
Taxes are always (even) harder than people think—this'll be so useful for growing startups.
Finally! I wish you had this for this tax season but I’m excited to use pilot tax next year
We use Pilot for bookkeeping and it's awesome. Pilot makes it so easy that I spend less than 5 minutes a month on finance-related things for Jumprope. I'm excited to try Pilot Tax to make taxes equally easy.
@waseem Very cool! Congrats on the fundraise.
Firstly, Do you plan on coming to the UK? Have felt the pain!!
Secondly, am i right in saying that you are not competing with Quick Books / Turbo Tax / Receipt Bank but instead competing with accountants and book keepers. So more a tech enabled accountant vs a pure SaaS company?
I'm assuming you believe that you can scale through software vs people i.e. make a bookkeeper way more effective so they can deal with more clients.
@koomerang1 You have it exactly right—we're not trying to replace e.g. QuickBooks. In fact, we do all of our work *in* QuickBooks Online.
We're giving you a much better (more accurate, more consistent, higher-quality) experience because we're a tech-enabled bookkeeper, making use of all the standard tools you'd expect, and a ton of software we've developed internally to do the heavy lifting needed so we can do this in a really high-quality way.
But we are U.S.-only at the moment.
Hello again Product Hunt 👋 ,
Great to be here again—thanks @gillianim for hunting us!
Pilot does bookkeeping for startups 📚 📈 . Riveting, right? 😴 Despite being boring, it’s incredibly important that your books are right, which is why we started Pilot: a bookkeeping service powered by our expert team of bookkeepers, who use a bunch of software we’ve written to automate the most tedious, error-prone parts of the work.
We launched Pilot on PH in Dec 2017 to great fanfare—thanks for your support! 🎉 One of the questions we consistently got, though, was: “Taxes ⚰️. Can you help?”
The answer used to be “Sorry, no, we only do bookkeeping”… until now! 📅 We’re excited to launch Pilot Tax: a service where we take care of your federal, state, and other misc. tax filings ⚖️, in the same high-quality way you’ve come to expect from our bookkeeping service. (No more annoying handoff calls, since we take care of it all under one roof.)
We’d love to get your feedback. We’ll be around all day answering questions, so feel free to comment here or email me directly at waseem@pilot.com
