We do the reconciliation—and you're exactly right that QBO doesn't have a reconciliation API, so we have to do it outside of QuickBooks in our own system. (But yes, we've found that if you don't do this reconciliation, the bank feed will just silently drop transactions, etc.)

Can you clarify a bit more when you say you reconcile "outside of QBO"? Does this mean you're keeping track of reconciled items in a separate system and not in QBO? In QBO if an invoice payment is reconciled I can see which bank transaction it has been associated with; will this be the case with Pilot?

Hi! Not doing this to be evasive but because I think we can probably have a higher-bandwidth chat about the exact specifics of it by phone, if you're up for it.

Can I encourage you to drop me a note at waseem@pilot.com or we can schedule some time together here?: https://calendly.com/pilot-waseem/overview

What is the extent of their automation? Do they really do accrual accounting? It seems their customer base is companies that only accept payments online (mostly through Stripe) and they do cash basis accounting. Mind if I ping you for more questions on your experience with them?

Please do ping me! My company was pretty starightforward, but I know they handle some fairly complex companies.

Hey, thanks for this. What's the best way to contact you?
