Every human we've interacted with has been professional, knowledgable, and gone above and beyond to ensure a smooth onboarding. > > **Cons**: None so far\! Initially their process felt more geared to SaaS businesses, but they are able to support professional services just as well. > > Pilot is handling our monthly books and preparing our payroll every other week. Their system is amazing and the best I've experienced. They are incredibly organized and it's been a very smooth transition. Their rates are also fair\! ----- ### "I would recommend giving Pilot a try\!" — 5.0/5 > **Max** | *February 5, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, very knowledgable, fast to respond with any issues that we have. Books look great every month and they always ask intelligent questions when they are unsure about things. > > **Cons**: Nothing really\! Could use more hands on tax advice occasionally, and they don't cover canada. > > Wonderful experience. Easy to work with, great tech product. ----- ### "Pilot.com review" — 4.0/5 > **Alyson** | *March 3, 2025* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Asks a lot of questions, has an easy-to-use platform > > **Cons**: Wish we could speak directly to the CPAs to ensure that our books are correct > > Pilot.com is somewhat pricey but it seems like there are pretty good CPAs that help close the books each month. Sometimes we need them to update and change our books and they are responsive and do so. ----- ### "Life made easy with pilot" — 5.0/5 > **Victor** | *June 22, 2022* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The income and expenses comparison is the most impactful as it determines the benchmark for the next marketing target. We have as well managed to integrate it with semper reservations for easy flow of revenue. > > **Cons**: Everything seems to be working well with pilot. > > We mainly work with the system in food and beverage department to track income versus expense. Stock is accurately tallied, expenses, sales all are deducted in one go giving us a solid plan on what to do next in terms of the company Goals. ----- ### "Nearly great" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *April 26, 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The book keepers are Pilot are quite good (even though it's "AI" much of the real work still needs people). They are generally fast to respond and correct errors. The interface is email + relatively simple webUI that makes managing exceptions pretty easy, books are generally delivered on time. > > **Cons**: Customer support outside of book keeping is terrible. I tried to get pilot to also handle the company tax return, after 6 weeks of unresponsive email and repeatedly being sent questionnaires asking the same information, I gave up and used a regular accountant that was cheaper, faster, and more responsive. Pilot charges a premium, but offers far below average customer support for tax filing. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/186313/pilot?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/186313/pilot) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
