View company profile

At Pilot, our mission is to build the future of the financial back office, empowering startups and small businesses to grow and flourish. We are a team of over 250 U.S.-based experts dedicated to cutting through complexity and providing the most reliable accounting, CFO, and tax services. Our core values guide everything we do, emphasizing ownership, focus, quality, impact, trust, teamwork, collaboration, and justice. We believe in a culture where every team member meaningfully impacts our company, our customers, and our teams. This commitment to excellence and a supportive environment is why many of our team members, some of whom have been with the founders since 2012 across multiple ventures, are excited to be part of Pilot's growth and work alongside their colleagues every day.

Founded in 2017 by Waseem Daher, Jeff Arnold, and Jessica McKellar, three friends from MIT's computer club with a history of successful B2B startups, Pilot was born out of a desire to solve a pervasive and significant pain point: bookkeeping. Having experienced the challenges of financial management firsthand with their previous companies (Ksplice, acquired by Oracle, and Zulip, acquired by Dropbox), the founders recognized a massive unmet need in the market. We understand that entrepreneurs start their businesses to pursue their passions, not to get bogged down in bookkeeping, taxes, and accounting. That's why Pilot combines intelligent software with world-class, full-time, U.S.-based finance experts to deliver accurate, consistent financial management and tax services. This unique blend allows us to handle the complexities of your finances, giving you the freedom to focus on what you do best – building your business. We partner with thousands of companies, from pre-seed startups to those with hundred-person teams, helping them grow sustainably and operate more effectively.
