The story
Founded in 2014 in Bordeaux, JePilote started as a lightweight cloud accounting and invoicing tool targeting French micro-enterprises (TPEs) and startups with no accounting background. Over time it layered in bank synchronisation for real-time cash-flow visibility and accountant-collaboration features. More recently, the platform has moved toward becoming an embedded-finance-ready accounting hub by integrating with neobanks (Qonto) and accounting platforms (Pennylane), positioning itself as a connected financial cockpit rather than a standalone ledger tool.
