About our
STORY
The story of Basetax.ai begins with one man’s unique journey through the worlds of finance, accountancy, and entrepreneurship, Kah Tan.
Kah Tan, a Chartered Accountant, entrepreneur, and finance expert, knew firsthand the struggles of small business owners. His career began in investment banking, where he held pivotal roles at Barclays and RBS. It was here that Kah developed his deep expertise in finance, business strategy, and regulatory compliance. But despite his success in the corporate world, he felt something was missing, a fundamental understanding of what small businesses truly needed.
After transitioning into accountancy, Kah launched his own firm, helping over 1,000 clients from various industries. It was this phase of his career that provided him with a front-row seat to the struggles that small business owners faced. He saw how they juggled bookkeeping, tax filing, and compliance, often battling against tight deadlines, complex tax regulations, and, all too often, the frustration of inefficient software solutions.
In parallel to his accountancy work, Kah embraced his entrepreneurial spirit. He ventured into the food and beverage sector, managing a chain of bubble tea shops and running a modern food court. It was during these experiences that he truly understood the daily challenges of small business owners: the long hours, the constant need to stay ahead of the competition, and the never-ending paperwork.
Kah noticed that, despite their hard work and dedication, many small business owners found themselves bogged down by accounting tasks. They were chasing invoices, missing deadlines, and stressing over VAT returns. The more he observed, the more he realized that these owners were overwhelmed not because they didn’t care about their finances, but because the tools they had at their disposal simply weren’t built for them.
Existing accounting software was either too complex for business owners or too limited for accountants. Kah saw the gap: The tools didn’t truly understand the business. They simply collected data, but they didn’t provide the clarity or support that small business owners needed to stay on top of their finances.
That’s when the lightbulb moment struck. Kah realised that what was missing was a platform that combined the precision of technology with the understanding of a human accountant. A solution that could simplify the financial process, not just by collecting data, but by making sense of it in a way that business owners could easily understand. And so, Basetax.ai was born.
Basetax.ai is not just another accounting platform. It’s a smart, intuitive tool that automates routine tasks, learns from users’ habits, and explains finances in simple, straightforward language. It was designed to bridge the gap between the complexities of accounting and the needs of the modern small business owner. With Basetax.ai, small businesses can efficiently manage their finances, stay compliant with HMRC regulations, and focus on what matters most: growing their business.
Since its launch, Basetax.ai has been transforming the way freelancers, sole traders, landlords, and small businesses in the UK manage their finances. It has quickly become a trusted digital partner, helping users navigate the maze of tax filings, VAT returns, and accounting tasks that used to consume so much of their time.
Basetax.ai continues to evolve, with a clear mission: to make accounting and tax management simpler, more accessible, and more human. As it grows, it will remain a steadfast partner, it is now powered with ztudium’s AI.DNA technologies and HumanAI potentials, helping the next generation of small business owners navigate the complex world of finance with confidence and clarity.
