OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Build faster with your back-office covered

Pilot gives you the infrastructure to focus on all the things that matter more.

This service requires a Pilot bookkeeping subscription.

HR, payroll, and benefits

Have us set up your HR system such as Gusto or Rippling. We’ll file so you can hire in various states, maintain a payroll calendar, and ensure your people get paid and you stay compliant.

Invoicing and receivables

We’ll generate invoices via platforms we support like QuickBooks, Stripe, and BILL. We’ll set up a best practice invoicing process with automated follow-ups, reconcile transactions so they’re marked as paid, and report on what’s outstanding. (We stop short of collections—it’s a legal thing.)

Payments and contractors

We’ll schedule and send payments from a system like BILL, Expensify, or QuickBooks. This can include gathering and organizing all your U.S. contractors’ W-9 forms information and issuing 1099s at the end of the year.

Incorporation and banking

We can help you set up the business. We’ll help you incorporate (likely in Delaware), get a federal tax ID, open your business bank accounts and cards, and prepare for what’s next.

Case study

Plus, one-off projects

We can help you build best practice processes for everything from invoicing to hiring so you’re ready to grow.

The more I can focus on driving business, product, and marketing opportunities forward, the more likely we are to succeed. Pilot lets me focus on the business.
