Pilot.com Raises $15 Million Series A Funding

Pilot.com, Inc., which provides bookkeeping services for startups and other small businesses, announced today that it has raised a $15 million Series A round of financing from Index Ventures and a group of world-class entrepreneurs.

Pilot handles its customers’ books from start to finish, pairing each of its customers with a dedicated account manager based out of the company’s San Francisco office. According to the company, it is different from traditional bookkeeping firms because it performs its operations using innovative software that the company has built on top of Quickbooks Online. This approach, which Pilot has termed “people and software, each doing what they do best,” is what sets Pilot apart from other bookkeeping firms and, according to the company, allows it to be far more reliable, accurate, and efficient than traditional bookkeepers.

Alongside the funding announcement, Pilot also announced general availability of its bookkeeping service, which currently has a user base of more than 150 business customers.
