Basis alternatives
Basis builds AI agents for accounting firms and in-house accounting teams that carry out whole pieces of work, such as a client's month-end close, a full tax return or audit testing, and hand the finished work to an accountant for review. It raised a US$100m Series B in February 2026 at a US$1.15bn valuation.
Firms comparing it usually look at AI bookkeeping and close services such as Truewind, Kick, Uplinq and Outmin, and at AI tools for tax and audit work such as Accrual and Fieldguide. Businesses that want software rather than an agent working for their accountant compare Digits, QuickBooks and Xero.
What Basis does
AI agents that run client accounting and month-end close, prepare tax returns from intake to review-ready workpapers, and carry out audit testing with cited evidence.
