Jae Hyun Moon Former Investment Banker with a background in private equity "I help founders build with intention, from first funding and turnarounds to exits. My job is to be your partner in the trenches who knows the numbers and brings the right playbook for the moment." |
Cole Levin Former Fortune 500 Finance Director and startup founder "I've guided over 75 startups and companies through everything from seed rounds to 9-figure exits. The difference between companies that scale and those that stall? They measure what matters and make data-driven bets on growth." |
Pauline Chan Former TMT Investment Banker, VC, and startup coach "Most founders only go through M&A once - I've helped C-suites navigate $30B+ in deals, from private transactions to public exits. A strategic CFO can open doors, shape outcomes, and help you exit on your terms." |
To succeed, you need resources—a trusted advisor, a partner with experience who says 'Yes, I see it, and I know what will help.'
Whether you're scaling from 2 to 20 people or preparing for your exit—Pilot works for growing businesses.
Your ambition to build something significant matters more than your current size. We work with growth-minded businesses at every stage.
Expanding Teams: "We keep running out of cash. How do I know if we can afford three more hires?"
Securing Capital: "Investors want financial projections. How do I model different growth scenarios?"
Optimizing for Profitability: "Revenue is up 40% but profits aren't. Where are we bleeding money?"
Planning Your Exit: "We want to sell in two years. What financial foundation do we need to build now?"
These complex questions require expertise that the average bookkeeping firm can’t provide. We've helped companies navigate everything from raising capital to valuations to international expansion.
Here's how we solve the exact problems keeping you up at night.
