Week 59 after press release 27 x 10.000 hours They say that to become a true expert in anything, you need around 10.000 hours of practice. The airline pilot taking you to your holiday destination this summar probably has somewhere between 3.000 and 5.000 flying hours Well, yesterday, in a room in London 👇 sat 272.000 hours of combined experience in software development and financial auditing This is basically the team behind the enterprise-grade version of Auditstage Because building software for financial auditors, used by professionals who protect the quality of their work with their reputation every single day, is not something you do with a bit of overnight coding experience That’s why, for the past eight months, we’ve been building this product at the next level. Not just making a SaaS product, but solving one of the most complex challenges I’ve ever worked on, bringing data, audit methodology and AI into a perfect blend for financial auditors From day 1, we chose the path of the highest standards in security, infrastructure, data governance and AI orchestration by bringing 101 Ways (Crosstide) into our technical team. Not because we couldn’t do it ourselves, but because we were not willing to put a technical learning curve on the backs of the audit firms that trust our software. While most auditors are now enjoying a well-deserved summer break, we are entering the final phase, after many months of work, towards delivering the first end-to-end auditing platform, ready just in time for the new audit season in September I’m incredibly proud to have these people on our team and to watch the product transform from an idea on paper into a technically complex platform that will finally allow every auditor to experience a financial audit through my lens A huge thanks to Paul Stockdale for taking us out in the City 🇬🇧 and for the tour in the banking district 🫶 Stay tuned for next week’s update, We have a major announcement coming up 💥 Natalia
