The staffing gap
The pipeline is shrinking faster than the work
Most firms are turning away work they are qualified to do. The work is there. The people are not.

What we do
A secondment practice, not an outsourcing shop
What it is
- Qualified audit professionals seconded into your engagement teams
- Working in your audit software, on your files, to your methodology
- Supervised, reviewed and signed off by your firm
- Named individuals who return season after season
- Scalable up or down against your engagement calendar
What it is not
- An outsourced audit. We do not issue opinions or hold the engagement
- A bookkeeping pool repackaged as audit support
- Rotating resources you re-train every busy season
- A black box. You see the people, the process and the controls
- A long lock-in. Engagements start at 90 days

Quality and security
Three layers of review before work reaches you
Your review should be a review, not a rebuild.
01
Preparer
Sections completed to your documentation standard, with a signed self-review checklist.
02
Icon manager review
Testing logic, sampling, referencing and tie-outs checked before anything is shared.
03
Quality assurance
A senior reviewer sweeps high-risk areas and tracks findings to closure.
- Data stays in your systems, reached by virtual desktop
- Named-user accounts with multi-factor sign-in
- Independence confirmations and conflict screening
- Your firm directs the work and signs the report
- Documents to support client notification
- No subcontracting of your work
