Modus alternatives
Modus is an AI-native audit and assurance firm. It pairs its own AI agent, Andi, with experienced auditors to deliver financial statement audits with a guaranteed four-week turnaround, through a network of member firms with more than 175 professionals. Founded in 2025, it has raised US$85m led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.
Because Modus sells audits rather than software, the closest comparisons are the platforms audit firms use to do the same work themselves: Fieldguide, Caseware, Inflo and DataSnipper, with MindBridge for risk analytics.
