Your Accounting Team Is Drowning in Manual Work. There's a Fix.

Your invoices go out late. Collections drag on for weeks. And 70% of your finance team is stuck doing billing instead of strategic work.

Most accounting teams are working harder than ever. And most of that work shouldn't require a human at all.

The manual workflows — the data entry, the reconciliations, the repetitive month-end tasks — aren't a people problem. They're a technology problem. And for the first time, AI is advanced enough to actually solve it.

Nick Buccelli saw it firsthand. He started working with Basis when it was just two guys building in real time. No marketing deck. No polished pitch. After 90 days on the ground watching the technology develop, his conclusion was simple: what we've been doing for so long is no longer an option.

In this episode of The Accounting Disruptors, Paul Peterson sits down with Matt Barbieri and Nick Buccelli, to explore how agentic AI is eliminating manual accounting workflows — and what it looks like when a firm commits to building around it.

Key Takeaways:

• Why agentic AI is fundamentally different from the AI tools your team has already tried
• How one accountant can now carry the workload that used to require an entire team
• What "trusting the AI" actually means — and how Basis built their platform around that challenge
• The three mindsets firms bring to AI adoption (and which one unlocks the biggest opportunity)
• Why Wiss went all-in on outsourced accounting as the first use case — and what 18 months of deployment actually taught us
• Why the firms experimenting now are pulling ahead — and what it takes to catch up

The firms building AI into their infrastructure today won't just be more efficient. They'll be in a different league entirely.
