Pilot provides the most reliable accounting, CFO, and tax services for startups and small businesses. We partner with thousands of companies to help them grow sustainably and operate more effectively.
We're in the business of people. Matching the right player to every moment.
Every organization eventually faces something it hasn't done before — growth, a leadership transition, M&A, a systems implementation, or simply the need for a clearer financial picture. The answer is almost always a person who has.
Our consultants are seasoned financial executives who step in, find the rhythm of how your organization runs, and elevate what's already there. Most have sat in the CFO seat several times over, which means they know what to look for before you have to explain it. CFO Selections places them as fractional, interim, and project-based CFOs and Controllers across Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Texas, and conducts retained executive search when the need is a permanent hire.
Most of the organizations we work with are small to mid-sized and owner-run, led by the people closest to the daily decisions. They don't need a full-time hire, and they can't afford a bad fit. So we do the work early. We've built a deeply curated network of more than 300 seasoned financial operators, and we knew almost all of them before there was a need — which means when you call, we're usually introducing, not searching.
Our values are integrity, balance, equity, and philanthropy. In practice, that means telling a client when we're not the right fit. It means working with consultants who've already had significant careers and now want to use what they know on behalf of someone else. And it means a Foundation that gives this whole community a way to support children and families in foster and kinship care.
