AGENTIC AI FOR AUDIT READINESS CO-SOURCING

Elevate your audit-readiness expertise with AI-powered automation

We partner with accounting and finance firms to bring AI-native engineering to the client engagement process, making previously unaffordable work economical. You bring the client relationship and the domain expertise, we bring the AI layer that you know you need in order to stay competitive.

Modernize your services with custom AI-powered automation

The firms winning the next decade of audit and compliance work are the ones offering their clients results that used to be impossible — reconciliations resolved in weeks instead of years, complex historical backlogs cleared at a fraction of the traditional cost, and every figure traceable to its source.

This capability is coming to your clients one way or another. The question is whether it comes from you, or from the firm down the street. Partnering with us lets you:

  • Retain clients who are actively looking for firms that can do this work.
  • Provide a solution for clients who are being pressured to “leverage AI” but aren’t sure where or how.
  • Expand wallet share by taking on engagements you’d previously have to decline or price out of reach.
  • Protect the trust you’ve spent years building, by delivering results your clients — and their auditors — can independently verify.
  • Stay on the leading edge of what a modern firm can offer, without a rip-and-replace investment in your practice.
"For the first time, I could see exactly how the AI was making decisions. It wasn't a black box, it reflected the way I already understood the business, which made it something I could trust."

What is auditor-ready co-sourcing?

A partnership model where your domain expert and our AI-native engineering team jointly reconcile mismatched historical records — revenue timing, contract compliance, financial close, regulatory reporting, and other complex compliance requirements — into a single, auditor-traceable number. Unlike a generic AI tool, the logic is captured, executed by deterministic code, and independently verifiable end to end.

In the end, your client projects are completed faster and more accurately. You build trust with clients that you’re adapting to modern technology and strategically embracing AI capabilities where it makes sense without introducing risk. And your team learns more about agentic AI capabilities in the process, a by-product of participating in technical solutions meetings with our AI-native engineering team. Your team will better understand the AI layer of the solutions you’re selling and gain the confidence to speak to its strengths in your client meetings.

We built this so you don't have to trust the AI

Your clients are conservative. Their auditors are more conservative. You’ve read the horror stories about AI producing confident, wrong answers. So have we — and we designed around them from day one. Three things to know:

Data empowerment

AI doesn't make the decisions

Your domain expert dictates the rules. AI helps translate their process into a model. Deterministic code executes it. A human reviews the edge cases. The AI is never the thing deciding.

Automation

AI is bad at math. So we don't ask it to do math.

Calculations run on deterministic code — the same inputs producing the same outputs, every time. No model in the path at runtime. No guessing.

Data Security

Every number is traceable.

Each result cites the exact logic that produced it. On a recent engagement, that meant 140,000 rows with 140,000 explanations your expert could spot-check. It's what turns skeptics into believers.

Proof it works

A 15-year, $21.9M compliance backlog resolved in under a month

A 100+ year-old nonprofit institution had roughly 9,600 contracts and more than 100,000 data points behind $21.9M in deferred revenue that had never been fully reconciled — some records dating back to 1911. Fifteen years of manual attempts hadn't produced a result anyone fully trusted and the compliance risk was constantly looming.

We resolved the full dataset in under a month, at a fraction of the budget the client had planned for. Every figure is traceable to its source. The result passed two independent trust tests: a second implementation built purely from the written rulebook reproduced the engine's result exactly, and an independent re-derivation on a separate path matched as well.

Frequently asked questions about audit readiness co-sourcing

Yes. The AI isn’t in the path when the numbers actually run. A deterministic engine executes a plain-English rulebook that any auditor can read and verify independently of us.

They’re quarantined for human review, not guessed at. That’s precisely why the trusted result stays trustworthy.

It isn’t work handed off and returned. Your domain expert stays in the loop throughout, and what changes is the system, not just the headcount holding the line against a backlog.

No. The deliverable is a rulebook and workbook your team owns and operates, not a platform you have to license or maintain.
