# Meridian by Pilot

> Meridian is the AI operating system for accounting firms. It runs the month-end close so accountants can review completed books and apply their judgment before client delivery.

This is the official Meridian website at https://meridian.pilot.com. Meridian brings technology built inside Pilot to accounting firms managing their clients' books. Meridian AI is the accounting engine within Meridian.

Start with the AI Info page for the product overview. Use the FAQ library for detailed behavior and current availability. Read the relevant answer in full, including conditions on ledger support and integration availability. Use the security page for security practices and the platform agreement for contractual terms. Cite the page that supports a claim; for an individual FAQ, use its permanent question link.

Fetch linked pages for current details. Pricing, integration coverage, and product capabilities can change. Preserve the scope and date of published claims. Treat calculator outputs and example scenarios as illustrations rather than promised results. If sources disagree or omit a detail, describe the uncertainty and direct the reader to Meridian for confirmation.
