Frequently asked questions
Pilot scores C+ on Supergood's API Report Card. No outbound API. Pilot is a bookkeeping service; integrations flow inbound from QuickBooks, Gusto, Stripe, and banks. Third-party access exists only via bilateral fintech partnerships, though the books live in QuickBooks Online, so customers keep a QBO bypass.
Pilot has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Pilot (pilot.com) is a San Francisco-headquartered outsourced bookkeeping, tax, and CFO-services company for startups and small businesses, founded in 2017 by Waseem Daher, Jeff Arnold, and Jessica McKellar (the same trio behind Ksplice and Zulip).
Vertical: Accounting/Tax/Audit (Financial Services sub-sector). Monthly bookkeeping: categorization of bank/credit-card transactions, reconciliations, and accrual or cash-basis financial statement preparation.
High brand recognition within the venture-backed startup ecosystem; mid recognition in the broader SMB market.
Customer business transactions: bank/credit-card feeds (via QBO/Plaid), categorized line items, GL coding, attached receipts/invoices, reconciliation state. Chart of accounts, class/location/department dimensions (as supported by QBO).
Founded 2017, ~9 years old as of 2026. Modern company by US bookkeeping-firm standards (most competitors are legacy CPA firms or pre-2010 bookkeeping shops), but a contemporary of Bench (2012) and Botkeeper (2015) on the tech-forward end.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Pilot MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Pilot doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
