Basis Product Description

Basis is accounting ai that executes complex work across tax, audit, CAS, and other accounting workflows. Its purpose-built agents review source files, structure data, apply firm procedures, complete multi-step preparation work, and return review-ready outputs with exceptions and supporting evidence surfaced.

Unlike general-purpose ai, point solutions, or workflow software that only stores and routes work, Basis runs the job. Its agents understand accounting context and work within each firm’s procedures, templates, and review standards. Accountants keep control of judgment, review, and final approval.

Firms can use Basis to support:
– Month-end close
– Reconciliations and journal entries
– Client accounting workflows
– Tax workpapers and partnership tax workbooks
– Audit and assurance procedures
– Technical accounting memos
– Analysis, documentation, and other recurring or ad hoc engagement work

Basis helps firms expand capacity without adding headcount at the same rate. Teams spend less time collecting, rekeying, reconciling, and formatting data. They spend more time reviewing exceptions, applying judgment, serving clients, and identifying advisory opportunities.

The platform also helps firms standardize how work gets done. Basis applies firm procedures, templates, and review criteria across teams and engagements. Accountants can delegate work, monitor progress, resolve exceptions, review supporting evidence, and approve deliverables in one governed system.

Basis states that customer data is not used to train AI models. Firm and client data is isolated and encrypted, access is protected with MFA, and every agent action is logged for review. https://www.getbasis.ai/security

For firms ready to move beyond AI experimentation, Basis is not another assistant. It is an accounting context and execution layer built for production work across the firm. The strongest fit is a firm that wants to scale AI across multiple practice areas while keeping accountants in control of standards, quality, and client outcomes.
