Privacy by design

Full end-to-end encryption for financial Cloud Sync.

With optional Cloud Sync, Cashflow Pilot protects financial records using end-to-end AES-256-GCM encryption. Only you hold the recovery secret; our server cannot decrypt the financial contents. Account and sign-in metadata remain separate.

Only you hold the key

Store your 43-character recovery secret somewhere secure. You will need it to unlock another device; an email sign-in code is not enough.

Independent backups matter

Save a complete backup as well. If you lose the secret, do not erase your last usable local copy before securing a backup. Without either, encrypted cloud records are unrecoverable.

More ways to work securely

More control without exposing your financial cloud data.

Financial Cloud Sync uses full client-side end-to-end encryption. Selective sharing uses separate encrypted keys and explicit recipient approval; it does not disclose your own recovery secret. Sharing and email-delivery options can be approval-gated or vary by deployed platform.

Encrypted Sharing & Access

Verified identities, invitations and owner-selected read-only snapshots for approved recipients. No recipient gets unrestricted account access.

Branded Business documents

Save invoice and quote PDFs from the app; prepare email drafts or use approved delivery options. Sending a document is an intentional disclosure to its recipient and delivery provider.
