About the role
This is not a reporting role. You’ll own the analysis end to end: framing the question, finding the truth in the numbers, deciding what it means, and then making sure the business acts on it. You’ll report to the Head of Finance and work across finance, revenue operations, go-to-market, product, and engineering. Own the models the company runs on. Revenue, headcount, unit economics, cash. Leadership makes decisions off your work, so it has to be right and it has to be legible.
What they're looking for
- An operator, not just an analyst. You’ve watched good analysis go nowhere and it bothers you. You measure your work by what changed, not by what got produced
- Hyper curious. You ask why until you get an answer that holds up. You have a nose for when something is off and the patience to trace it to the source, and you use what you find to make better decisions
- AI-forward. You already use AI to work faster and go deeper, and you want to know how far it can go. You’d rather run the experiment than read about it. You’re excited by the idea that the data entry gets done by an agent and your job becomes the judgment
- A clear communicator. When anyone can generate three pages in thirty seconds, knowing the one thing that matters is the scarce skill. Before you send the brief, you ask what the most salient point is and how someone with five minutes should receive it
- Comfortable at every altitude. Humble enough to answer a basic finance question from a teammate, sharp enough to hold your own in a leadership discussion, and fluent enough to work with engineers and sellers alike

"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
Most finance roles inherit a business model. This one helps build one.
Our agents do work that accounting firms have always staffed with people. That makes the questions finance owns at Basis the questions that decide whether the company works: how you price hours of autonomous...
