Key Differences
Lower Monthly Cost — No Contracts
RemoteBooksOnline offers a flat, affordable monthly rate — nearly 4x less than Pilot’s basic plan — with no long-term contracts and no hidden fees.
CPA Review Comes Standard
Every RemoteBooksOnline client receives monthly financial statements reviewed by a Certified Public Accountant — unlike Pilot and QuickBooks Live, which charge extra for CPA-level review or don’t offer it at all.
First Month Free
Start with RemoteBooksOnline at no cost — your first month is completely free. With Pilot, you pay upfront before services even begin.
More Flexible and Scalable
RemoteBooksOnline supports businesses of all sizes and industries, whether you use QuickBooks or Xero. With optional white-label solutions and no platform lock-in, we scale as you grow — unlike Pilot’s startup-focused model or QuickBooks Live’s software dependency.
Flat Pricing — No Surprises
Our transparent, fixed monthly pricing doesn’t fluctuate with your transaction volume. QuickBooks Live’s pricing varies based on your activity, making budgeting unpredictable.
Catch-Up & Cleanup Services
Falling behind? We offer dedicated catch-up and cleanup services. QuickBooks Live requires you to be fully caught up — or manage the backlog on your own before starting.
RemoteBooksOnline is built for you. No contracts. First month free.
If you want simple pricing, CPA-reviewed reports, and long-term support — not just access to QuickBooks help.
