Case Study: Trash wins NSF funding and streamlines financial reporting with Pilot

Trash wins NSF funding and closes books in weeks with Pilot

Trash, a tech startup that uses AI to edit short-form videos, faced significant challenges with its financial operations. The founders were spending excessive hours on manual bookkeeping, which hindered their ability to create forecasts, report to investors, and meticulously track spending for a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. To solve this, they turned to the bookkeeping services provided by Pilot.

Pilot implemented a comprehensive solution, syncing accounts, cleaning historical books, and providing monthly financial statements. Crucially, Pilot built custom reports to track NSF grant spending. This expertise proved vital during an NSF audit, which they passed, securing the remaining funding. As a result, Trash now impresses investors with clean books, streamlines due diligence, and makes data-driven decisions that have saved the company thousands of dollars.
