What Dallas business owners ask us most

What makes Pilot different from a traditional CPA or accounting firm?

Pilot combines a full finance team with purpose-built software. You get timely, accurate books, real-time financial insight, and strategic support—not just a tax return or spreadsheet every quarter.

What industries do you support in Dallas?

Dallas has a strong presence in real estate, logistics, healthcare, financial services, and tech—and we’re built to support businesses across all of them. If your team is scaling and your financial systems can’t keep up, we’re ready to help.

Do I need a Dallas-based bookkeeper to manage my business finances?

Not at all. What you need is accurate books, responsive service, and a team that knows how to support growth. Pilot works remotely with companies across the U.S.—including many in Dallas—delivering expert financial support without the overhead of a local-only provider.

What's the difference between accrual and cash bookkeeping?

Cash bookkeeping tracks money when it moves in or out. Accrual bookkeeping records income and expenses when they’re earned, giving a more accurate view of your business.

Is support included? Can I ask questions?

Yes, support is included with every plan. You’ll be paired with a dedicated finance expert who knows your business, and you can reach out anytime you have questions about your books, taxes, or financial strategy.

How does pricing work?

Our bookkeeping and tax plans are based on an annual subscription model with transparent pricing that scales with your expense rate and your business needs such as connected institutions, bills, and invoices. You can check out our pricing page for more details.
