Thanks! This...makes a lot of sense.

Since you're focused exclusively on startups, is there any chance y'all can write up a "tools" guide for people just starting out, not just for bookkeeping? i.e. "Here's stack that new companies have a lot of luck with, that minimizes headaches and saves time: Pilot, Expensify, Gusto, Stripe etc." Speaking of which, any recommendations for things I can do now that will save me headaches down the road?

Yes! "Pilot recommended financial stack" is definitely at the top of the list of blog posts we want to write because it's just super-nice to get set up on the right stack from day one, rather than having to worry about it when things are more complicated.

The short, spoiler version for now is: Gusto, Chase corp card, Stripe, Expensify, bill.com if you do a lot of invoicing.

(And then the more 101 stuff, like, "Please don't mix business and personal expenses")
