Through this collaboration, Sikich and Basis are focused on:
- Improving quality and accuracy through consistent, auditable, AI-driven workflows
- Increasing efficiency and scalability by automating repeatable processes
- Enabling teams to focus on higher-value work, including analysis and client advisory
- Supporting the adoption of modern, AI-enabled accounting processes
“What stood out to us about Sikich is that their approach to AI is both practical and strategic,” said Matt Harpe, CEO of Basis. “They’re focused on where it can make a meaningful difference in the work their teams do every day, in a way that is built around better client outcomes. Through our collaboration, we’re helping modernize how work gets done by reducing manual effort, improving consistency and creating more capacity for the judgment and insights that support stronger decision-making.”
Sikich is deploying Basis across its global team, with results showing reductions in manual effort and increased consistency in execution.
