Our agents operate for hours at a time, performing end-to-end work for some of the largest accounting firms in the world. We recently raised $100M at >$1B valuation and are racing to deploy the most advanced applied ML at production scale. Our investors include: Khosla Ventures (Keith Rabois & Vinod Khosla), Accel (Miles Clements), Google Ventures, Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross, Adam D'Angelo, Jeff Dean, Jack Altman, Noam Brown, Kyle Vogt, Amjad Masad, Clem Delangue and many other operators/technical leaders. "Basis is on the frontier of building production-grade, long-horizon agents. They've pushed the limits of what we thought our models could do on real-world, economically valuable, complex accounting tasks. They've been a great collaborator in helping us shape what the future of agents looks like." — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI Founding Finance About the role Basis is redefining the practice of accounting and downstream finance workflows. We are looking for our first dedicated Finance hire to take ownership of building out our internal function to match the scale and velocity of the business. This role helps own the full spectrum of internal finance: from finance ops (procurement, treasury management, automations, etc.) to strategic finance (forecasting, compute management, commission planning, board materials, etc.) and beyond. If you think you’re a good fit, send us your profile, evidence of extraordinary ability, and one reference who can vouch for it. Who we're looking for Builder. You'll be setting up systems and processes rather than inheriting them. You're energized by standing something up for the first time. Scar-tissue in a scaling finance function. You have seen what great looks like building out a finance function at a rapidly scaling enterprise-focused business. Comfortable across altitude. You can zoom into the detail of closing the books and zoom out to whether we should invest in a new market. Both matter and you don't see one as beneath you. Strong analytical foundation. Likely investment banking, consulting, PE/VC, or startup finance background. First-principles thinker Many of the problems we solve are net new. There’s no playbook. We want people who can decompose a novel problem, reason from fundamentals rather than pattern match, and design things that compound. Cross-functional by default You'll work directly with Sales, Engineering, ML, Legal, and the CEO - and you know the finance function's value is only as good as its relationships with the rest of the business. High ownership, low ego. The unglamorous operational work and the high-stakes board prep happen in the same week. You take both seriously.
