Pilot gives you the infrastructure to focus on all the things that matter more.
This service requires a Pilot bookkeeping subscription.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
We can help you build best practice processes for everything from invoicing to hiring so you’re ready to grow.
Our team will identify bottlenecks and implement systems that make your day smoother.
We’ll implement dashboards, check-ins, and workflows to ensure your team stays on track.
When you’re pulled into every detail, you lose momentum. Our team handles that internal execution.
