Basis AI

Basis AI builds autonomous AI agents that perform end-to-end accounting work. The agents understand accounting logic and execute work from start to finish, producing finished work product ready for review at the quality level expected from an experienced accountant. The stated result is better work product and fewer review cycles, with accountants shifting from performing work to reviewing it, managing agents, applying judgment and advising clients.

The company is headquartered in New York and its agents are used by top accounting firms, deployed across CAS, Tax, Audit and Advisory service lines. Its technical work spans applied machine learning, AI agents, autonomous systems, production-scale ML and domain reasoning in accounting logic. The team describes itself as racing to deploy the most advanced applied ML at production scale, with a focus on the limits of what AI models can achieve on real-world, economically valuable, complex tasks.

Basis AI is backed by investors including Accel, Google Ventures (GV) and Khosla Ventures. Angel investors include Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, Adam D'Angelo, Jeff Dean and Jack Altman.
