AI agents that execute bookkeeping and close workflows for accounting firms inside their existing ledgers, with accountant review.

What it does

Basis builds AI agents for accounting firms. The agents take on production work such as transaction categorization, reconciliations, journal entries, and parts of the month-end close, operating inside the ledgers and tools firms already use, with accountants reviewing and approving the output.

The company positions its agents as added capacity for firms facing a well-documented accountant shortage: the agent does the first pass, documents what it did and why, and escalates anything ambiguous to a staff accountant. Basis raised venture funding from investors including Khosla Ventures and drew attention as one of the earlier agent-based products in accounting.

Basis sells to accounting firms rather than directly to businesses, and onboarding involves configuring agents to a firm’s specific workflows. Pricing is quote-based.
