Rational

The zero-human accounting firm

Visit Rational

Rational is an accounting firm that performs accounting work using AI agents, covering the process from gathering source documents through completing the books. It is positioned as an alternative to buying software and staffing it: customers engage Rational for the accounting work and its outcome rather than operating a tool themselves.

The firm describes its operation as AI employees carrying out the accounting, with the agents serving as the means by which the firm works rather than as a product for a customer's team to manage. Security materials are available through a trust center, with a way to request access to supporting documentation, and questions about system access, data handling, retention, and engagement requirements can be directed to the firm.

Rational is aimed at businesses that need their accounting done. Engagement begins by discussing the company's books and the work behind them, with a demo available to see how the service operates. The pages do not state specific pricing, plans, or packaging details.
