Andera builds AI agents that automate the end-to-end internal audit process for large public companies. The core problem: auditing a single financial control requires expert auditors to manually sift through hundreds of millions of tokens of messy, multi-format financial data — Excel workbooks, PDFs, system screenshots, journal entries — often taking six or more hours per document. Traditional software couldn't handle the scale or the unstructured nature of the evidence. Andera's platform does: it automatically gathers evidence from across an organization, tests controls against SOX, operational, and compliance frameworks, renders audit judgments, and generates workpaper documentation in auditor-ready format. The company claims up to 70% reduction in control-testing costs and is already deployed with Fortune 500 companies and public accounting firms. Founded in 2024 by Aryo Patel (ex-Microsoft Azure, Jane Street) and Tinah Hong (ex-Stripe ML, Microsoft), it is a Pear VC PearX Summer 2024 alum and is SOC 2 Type II certified.
