"We’ve worked with OpenAI from day one," says Mitchell Troyanovsky, co-founder of Basis. "Each model improvement broadens what our agents can take on. As reasoning improves, we unlock more complex, longer-running workflows and grant our agents greater autonomy." Built with OpenAI o3, o3‑Pro, GPT‑4.1, and GPT‑5, Basis’ AI agents help accounting firms save up to 30% of their time and expand capacity for advisory and growth. Some startups use AI to solve a point-in-time problem. Others build systems that get better as AI improves. Basis (opens in a new window) is the latter. Founded in 2023, Basis builds AI agents used by top accounting firms—designed to take on structured accounting work with the reliability and depth those tasks require.
Data flow
Founded in 2023, Basis builds AI agents used by top accounting firms—designed to take on structured accounting work with the reliability and depth those tasks require. The team uses OpenAI o3, o3‑Pro, GPT‑4.1, and GPT‑5 to power AI agents that help accounting firms automate repetitive tasks like reconciliations, journal entries, and financial summaries while giving accountants full visibility into how decisions are made and control over the process.
Solution architecture
- Compute
- GPT-5 Provides deep reasoning inside the customer workflow.
- GPT-4.1 Handles fast-response reasoning tasks and shorter interactive turns in the workflow.
- o3-Pro Validates high-stakes outputs and explains reasoning for complex decisions.
- o3 Coordinates or reasons through structured multi-step tasks.

Scoring methodology
How scores are calculated
Customer Reference Value measures usefulness as a customer reference. Evidence Confidence measures the quality and traceability of available evidence, not independent verification.
Customer reference value80/100
- Problem clarity20/20Measures whether the customer's operational problem is specific enough to compare.
- Implementation depth20/25Rewards named components, data flow, integrations, and architecture detail.
- Outcome specificity20/20Measures whether the reported benefit is concrete rather than a generic claim.
- Quantified impact15/251 metric describe measurable impact.
- Deployment scale5/10Rewards evidence of a live or scaled deployment and meaningful integration scope.
Evidence confidence89%
- Source authority20/25The main evidence is an official vendor-published customer story.
- Claim traceability21/2510 of 12 key fields link to a named source.
- Direct evidence20/204 direct source quotes retained.
- Date provenance10/10The publication date comes from the source page or publisher.
- Source transparency8/101 source reference document publisher, URL, authority, retrieval, and supported fields.
- Implementation specificity10/10Rewards source-backed components, data flow, quantified impact, and a specific outcome.
