Auditless | Spring 2026 | 8-10 Weeks | Remote
About AuditlessThe audit industry is $300B and hasn't changed since the 1850s—it's built around sending people to sample transactions and issue an annual opinion. But finance is automating fast. What used to be a person modifying a ledger is now a complex system of rules, integrations, and AI. You can't send people to check that. You need a machine to check the machine.
We're building a financial verification and audit platform that examines every record continuously, not a sample once a year. We start with VC funds, partnering with administrators like Carta to distribute through infrastructure our customers already use and expand from there to other segments. Think Vanta for financials.
We’re a seed-stage startup (currently in stealth mode) backed by VC investors. The founding team includes seasoned entrepreneurs who have built and scaled successful companies before with experience in AI, audit, insurance and fintech.
