Is your accountant actually doing a good job with your books? Let PilotGPT tell you, and also give you some advice on how to improve the business. Connect your QuickBooks we'll do the rest.
Hello again PH!
Have you ever wondered if your accountant is actually doing a good job with your books? It’s kinda impossible to know… until now!
LLM context windows are now large enough that you can actually just put your entire balance sheet and P&L into the LLM and ask it to point out things that might be errors or that should potentially be optimized. And with the right prompting and fine-tuning, it actually does... a surprisingly good job.
We’ve been building and using tech like this internally at Pilot for quite some time now, but this is the very first time we're making something like this freely available to everyone, regardless of whether or not you’re a Pilot customer.
I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. Please let me know what you think—I'll be around all day reading/responding to your comments.
@waseem_daher Hey Wasim, Congrats on the launch. I was wondering if Pilot of online integration with quickbooks or a dump check. If its online, do you also help pass corrections entires if need be.
How do you reconcile taxation-specific entires that are country specific?
Wild that you can just put an entire P&L in! In general I feel people are good at seeing patterns but bad at catching errors - this feels like it would really help!
Is this incorporated in your core Pilot product? I’d imagine an omnipresent health check could be very helpful.
@rajiv_ayyangar Yes, we run 50+ software-driven checks just like these every single month before we deliver books to our customers, and it definitely helps us catch a lot.
And yes it’s pretty amazing that you can basically toss the whole P&L in, versus needing to be more clever there.
This looks awesome 👏🏻
One of the most requested use cases for AI is accounting 🧾 so it’s great to see a team finally focus on it. Congrats Pilot crew 🔥
Congrats on the launch! This is a huge deal as the founder of an early stage startup, just to have some peace of mind about the bookkeeping to make sure we’ve got the basics covered. I see this as the missing analog to “spellcheck” for corporate accounting. You still want humans to help with the bookkeeping, just like it’s great to have another person edit your writing ideally, but wow, I can’t imagine living in a world without spellcheck! Maybe in a few years we’ll feel the same about this when it comes to bookkeeping. :)
I liked the use case of your tool helping analyse your QuickBooks Online account and giving you a report on the health of your books. However, in India, QuickBooks are not available and used widely.
In my opinion, your natural next step should be to tap the potential of country-specific popular accounting software.
It would certainly help SME business owners greatly.
It's remarkable that you can throw your balance sheet/P&L at it, and it will point out any inconsistencies/errors. Congrats to the Pilot team for an awesome product!
