If you plan to grow, choosing the right accounting and bookkeeping partner is essential. So what separates Pilot and InDinero? Some say it’s the level of guarantee. InDinero will do your books. Whereas Pilot keeps your books audit-ready. InDinero offers support. Pilot’s there in a crisis. One works. One’s a sure thing.

The big value to Pilot is that customers don’t have to double-check our work. You just know it’s done right. “I probably spend 15 minutes a month thinking about accounting. It's like one or two email replies. I never have to think about it,” says Trevor Thompson, Co-Founder of Ethos Network.

Pilot uses automation under the hood, but human bookkeeping experts review and certify your books. They handle exceptions and answer questions.
Metrics only matter if they apply to your business. Pilot’s CFOs can build you a model, apply what works for 100s of others in your space, and save you years of guessing.

InDinero earns respectable reviews from businesses with gentle growth trajectories where the stakes aren’t too high.
If your business does any of the following, InDinero can no longer support you: launch a new business model, switch to accrual accounting, launch a new business unit, go international.
InDinero will complete your books but they don’t have the systems and people to certify those books as GAAP-compliant every month.
InDinero’s team doesn’t have the depth of expertise in financial planning and analysis (FP&A) to produce investor-ready models and projections.

You don’t plan to change your business model.
The agency owner John-Henry Scherk tried another accounting service before Pilot, and for years, corrected the books himself whenever they were wrong. This worked while Growth Plays was small. But as the agency grew past 10 people and dozens of customers, things started to slip. He couldn’t plan. He couldn’t hire. He switched to Pilot and realized the relief of handing off to true experts.
It’s a relief knowing that there’s another set of eyes and a trained algorithm paying attention to our books.
Know your financials are accurate
Pilot’s process ensures that the numbers you see are true and you don’t have to double-check. (Though you can.)
Pilot is a partner we can trust. After going through multiple accounting firms and a DIY effort, we couldn’t be happier.
Get advice that helps you grow
With Pilot, you get a whole team of experts so whatever arises with payroll, invoices, payments, fundraising, or company strategy, we can help.
I don’t think anyone would have any issue with our finances whatsoever, and that’s remarkable.
Rely on an enduring partner
Pilot’s bookkeeping, CFO, tax filing, and operations services come with the guarantee that it will work so well, you can ignore us.
