A new paradigm for audit

Financial auditing has long been hindered by siloed data, manual handovers, and disconnected tools. Auditstage changes this by blending structured financial data, professional audit methodology, and autonomous AI agents.

The platform’s “deterministic backbone” ensures that AI agents perform complex tasks; from information requests to review, strictly guided by the firm’s methodology. This delivers the necessary professional rigor, traceability, and consistency that auditors require, while eliminating repetitive, manual workloads.

Exceptional support from Smartfin

The round is led by Smartfin, an existing investor that has supported Auditstage since its pre-seed stage. Underpinning that continued belief, Smartfin doubled down on its initial investment, joined by a number of business angels.

“We backed Natalia at the very beginning because her rare combination of deep audit expertise and technical ambition was clear. Over the past year, the team has turned a bold vision into a product with clear market relevance. Our conviction has only grown, and we felt it was essential to double down as the company moves to capture this significant market opportunity.”

— Jürgen Ingels, Managing Partner at Smartfin

Scaling for market adoption

Following a successful 2025 where the company validated product-market fit through extensive research and the launch of its first data exchange module, this new capital will be deployed to:

• Accelerate Product Engineering: Complete the final development of the end-to-end platform.

• Scale for Enterprise: Enhance the platform’s infrastructure to support large-scale firm operations.

• Launch: Execute the commercial rollout to early-adopter firms eager to modernize their core workflows.
