Benford: Venture Capital Funding History

Benford is a new generation tech-native audit firm that runs the statutory audit end to end. Instead of selling software to auditors, Benford is the auditor: it holds the licence, builds the platform and employs the auditor who signs it. Its proprietary engine, AuditOS, connects to a company's systems, gathers the evidence and carries the work from one year to the next, so routine work is done by systems while judgement stays with people. A qualified auditor scopes every engagement, rules on every exception and signs the opinion. The target is a lower cost of audit, with no compromise on quality. Founded by Mads Bogen Øye, Thibault Mallion and Andreas Rystad, alumni of Palantir, Goldman Sachs and One Peak, Benford is a registered audit firm live in Norway, with teams in London and Oslo, backed by firstminute capital, Global Founders Capital, Sondo and the founders of Visma, HSO, Pennylane, Qonto and Amesto.
