Automated Pilot Monthly Close Handoff

When Pilot finishes categorizing last month's transactions, WebRun saves the categorized summary and any items flagged needs review to a Google Drive folder, and drafts a Twilio text to the founder letting them know the books are ready and what needs their input, left for them to send.

In short

How do I get notified when my Pilot monthly close is ready?

WebRun checks Pilot each month for a finished close, saves the categorized summary and any items flagged needs review to Google Drive, and drafts a Twilio text letting the founder know the books are ready. It names exactly what needs their input, leaving the text for them to review and send.

  • The founder learns the books are ready the same day Pilot finishes, not weeks later
  • Items needing review are named specifically instead of requiring a full re read
  • Every month's close summary is filed and easy to find in Google Drive

Questions, answered

Does it categorize transactions itself?

No. Pilot's bookkeepers do the categorizing. WebRun only checks when they are done and hands off the summary.

Will it text the founder automatically?

No. The ready to review text is drafted in Twilio and left for the founder to review and send, never sent on its own.

What if nothing needs review?

The handoff still happens with a note that the close is clean, so the founder knows the books are ready either way.
