Basis provides AI‑driven agents specifically designed for accounting firms. The platform runs in the background, executing end‑to‑end accounting workflows such as tax, audit, and advisory tasks, and delivers output that is ready for a human reviewer. The system is built around core accounting principles and adapts to a firm’s existing standards and engagement practices, aiming to produce work that meets client expectations without requiring a change in methodology. By handling repetitive execution steps, Basis lets accountants shift from doing the work to reviewing it, applying professional judgment and providing higher‑value advice. This change in role is intended to reduce review cycles, improve work product quality, and free up capacity for additional clients or more complex engagements. Basis is positioned as a firm‑wide solution, with testimonials from firms that span tax, audit, and advisory practices. Users report faster month‑end closes, streamlined workflows, and a “force multiplier” effect that scales revenue capacity while maintaining accuracy. The platform offers a single interface for the whole firm, with modules tailored to each practice area, and provides status updates at key stages of the workflow so staff stay informed while the AI operates autonomously.
