About this episode
Alicia sits down with Jessica McKellar, CEO and founder of Pilot, to unpack Meridian, the AI accounting platform built over a decade and stress-tested across thousands of month-end closes before its public launch this year. Jessica walks through how it handles reconciliations, supporting schedules, and firm-specific policies natively, executes both recurring close checklists and ad hoc requests like revenue restatements, and why she thinks the shift will let accountants spend less time on mechanical work and more on judgment and advisory, changing how firms and individual accountants get paid in the process.
