Meridian is the AI operating system for accounting firms. It runs the month-end close across a firm's entire client portfolio, and the firm's accountants review finished books and sign off before anything reaches the client. Each accountant carries a far bigger book and spends more time on advisory and client relationships.
We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own Firm Experience: everything a firm's team sees and does in Meridian once a client is live. That includes the firm dashboard, the close checklist, the review layer, and Meridian AI, our accounting super agent for one-off work outside the close. You will be the second PM on Meridian, working alongside the PM who owns activation (kickoff to first close). You inherit a dedicated engineering and design team, a roadmap in flight, and firms using the product every month.
The role grows with the platform. Meridian is moving beyond the month-end close to become the place a firm runs its practice, and you will lead the work to turn Pilot's internal tools into capabilities firms use with their colleagues and clients.
Strongly preferred: working knowledge of accounting or bookkeeping, from building products for accountants or from time in the profession (public accounting, bookkeeping, controller, or similar).
Bonus points: experience with Practice Management or client collaboration products (Karbon, Canopy, TaxDome); productizing internal tools; shipping AI or agentic features; deep familiarity with QuickBooks Online or Xero; founder or operator experience.
Meridian is the AI operating system for accounting firms, built by Pilot.
We built it the hard way, inside our own firm while closing more 200,000 months of books for more than 8,000 businesses. Along the way, we’ve worked through the odd vendors, miscategorized deposits and multi-currency messes that drag out a close. Today, Meridian brings that experience to other accounting firms.
It automates the full month-end close, from reconciliation, categorization, and accruals to tick-and-tie, so controllers walk in on the first of the month to review finished books, not build them. That changes the math for the whole practice. A firm that stops building the close can rebuild how it delivers the work and keep a lot more of every fixed fee.
The next challenge is helping firms put Meridian to work. Accounting is deciding what AI should and shouldn’t touch, with plenty of accountants who are skeptical. Our job is to show them what this looks like when it works, one close at a time.
That takes people who listen closely, understand the work and follow through. We’re still early in bringing Meridian to other firms. Joining now means helping shape the product, how firms adopt it and how we earn their trust.
Meridian is part of Pilot, backed by more than $170 million in financing from Sequoia, Index Ventures, Stripe, Bezos Expeditions, and Whale Rock.
