Likelihood to Recommend	if you run a small business that has gotten large enough for accounting to become a headache on a weekly or monthly basis, I would consider botkeeper as a solution. they have packages that scale up as your business continues to grow. Also, if you are collecting sales tax and managing that yourself, along with your year-end reporting for taxes, botkeeper is a lifesaver. Incentivized Hanson Grant CEO and Founder Read full review	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. Their CFO services are also great regardless of the vertical you are in. As a founder, this is something you shouldn't waste your time on, and with Pilot you can feel secure. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	on-boarding team adjust their roadmap in accordance to customer needs their support team is second to none Incentivized Christopher J. Ferretti Operations Manager Read full review	Quick responses to questions submitted to support Integration with various banking systems and software, including HR systems and cap table system, which saves time when filing taxes Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Potential and capabilities for revenue recognition are not up to a high standard, which is a basic ask. The exhaustive analysis is not possible with just Botkeeper, one needs to integrate with some other third-party service provider, and that's something that is not considered good. Analytical outputs in terms of charts and graphs need to be more adaptive as only a few configurations are provided and the rest seems to be pulled from the provided one, which imparts an overhead. Botkeeper claims best probability and statistics calculations but sometimes standard deviation shows it way away from acceptance criteria. Incentivized Vaibhav Sharma Senior Engineer Read full review	I would say that only room for improvement would be to offer more educational opportunities that explain what the numbers mean.

Alternatives Considered	Botkeeper is quite new to accounting solutions. The tech base is quite new and cutting edge. Service support is quite fast and good. Integration support is open to another third party to enhance in all possible ways. Eliminates overhead of hiring permanent resident accountants. Great user experience and well-optimized tools. Incentivized Vaibhav Sharma Senior Engineer Read full review	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. GM Greg Mischio Founder and CEO Read full review
