Considered Both Products	Acuity Accounting No answer on this topic	Pilot Daniel Viliam Mazáč COO Chose Pilot We have not used other products. Incentivized Helpful? GM Greg Mischio Founder and CEO Chose Pilot I liked the people they had working for them, and their communication was exceptional. This is their focus, not the overall software package with bookkeeping services added in. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Pilot Nobody else seemed to have the same capabilities and fit with our company culture as well. QuickBooks or Xero alone don't offer the same level of service and would require too much effort on our part. We used Indinero with my prior company and they just missed a lot of things … Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Braver COO Chose Pilot We talked to two other firms, one very small and one more corporate-like. We liked the startup feel of Pilot.com better than the other two. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Pilot Pilot.com is reliable and trustworthy. You don't have to worry that your bookkeeper is going to retire (which has happened to us before) and that you'll need to start all over with someone new. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Pilot is great for early-stage startups in any vertical. They handle the entire financial stack and will save you a lot of time on that front.
