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 is potentially huge for SMBs. Quite a while ago (read 2018) I read through a report from McKinsey, where they estimated that 90+% of the work done by accountants could be automated in the near future. Would be interesting to see where that estimate is at with the current technology and the evolution of AI.

@oliver_bahne I definitely think that accounting is very ripe for “Computers do the vast majority of the work”, which is admittedly a big part of why we started Pilot. I think like self-driving cars, though, the last 1% is disproportionately really really hard. And for us, even if the computer could do the vast majority of it, what our paying customers are ultimately buying is the peace of mind of having the expert team on it, IN ADDITION to the software.

@waseem_daher agreed. The sense of security is priceless, and really, really easy to break, if you get it wrong. Keep up the good work!

Founder Salary Confessions: How Much Should You Pay Yourself? AMA with 3x Founder Waseem Daher

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Waseem Daher, co-founder of Pilot, the largest startup-focused accounting company in the US. I'm a 3x founder (my previous ventures were acquired by Oracle and Dropbox) who's raised over $120M from Sequoia, Stripe, Jeff Bezos, and more.

Today we're releasing our 2025 Founder Salary Report with data from 1,800+ founders, and the findings might surprise you:

  • Founder salaries dropped 43% in the past year

  • AI founders are bucking the trend (paying themselves more)

  • Bootstrapped companies jumped 57%

  • Only 5.4% of founders pay themselves nothing (down from 9% last year)

We founders talk endlessly about burn rates, runway, and valuations but no one talks about what they pay themselves. It's time to change that.

Hi @gillian_o_brien, Loved your Founder Salary Report. Ever think about how Pilot.com appears on various devices? You're ahead of the curve, but responsive design isn't just a nice-to-have; it's essential for broadening your user base. I'm about to launch **Mobile View**. It lets you: "View your website on multiple device views simultaneously, in real-time. Enhance your testing experience with immersive device skins as you optimize your responsive designs on-the-fly." This tool goes beyond aesthetics; it ensures you're fully optimized for your target audience, and it improves the developer experience when developing responsive sites. Follow me for launch updates, and lets touch base some time. Best, Connor Mobile View
