Built by a landlord who got tired of spreadsheets

I've been a real estate investor and landlord for years. Managing rental properties is rewarding, but the financial side — tracking every expense, categorizing transactions across properties, keeping receipts organized, and generating reports for tax season — is a grind.

Every January it was the same ritual: download a year of bank statements, open a spreadsheet, and spend an entire weekend manually sorting transactions. Which property was that Home Depot charge for? Was that utility bill for the duplex or the condo? Where's the receipt for the plumbing repair?

I tried every property management tool I could find. They were either built for property managers running hundreds of units, or they were basic expense trackers that didn't understand how landlords think about money. None of them could just take my bank statements and figure it out.

With 15+ years of software engineering experience, I knew this was a solvable problem. The data is all there in your bank statements — it just needs to be parsed, categorized, and organized. That's exactly what AI is good at.

So I built Basis. The core idea is simple: your bank statements are the source of truth. Upload them, and Basis's AI does the rest — extracting transactions, categorizing expenses, matching receipts, and generating the exact reports your CPA needs.

Basis learns how you categorize things and gets better over time. It understands that landlords think in properties, not just categories. And it's built to handle the January rush — upload a full year of statements and have your Schedule E ready in under an hour.
