Audit Sight, which makes accounting record verification software, announced the release of its new Management Meeting Module made for quality of earnings professionals in M&A transactions. The software allows professionals to identify material account balances and fluctuations over the deal period; surface movements outside normal expectations, using intelligent analysis based on users' designated materiality and standard deviation thresholds so that teams can identify and track potential EBITDA adjustments to discuss with management. Users can prepare data-driven questions for management interviews without "eyeballing" trial balances or combing through thousands of rows of financial data, as the new module will automatically calculate key profitability and efficiency ratios to drive more targeted and informed discussions. The solution is built off Audit Sight's AI engine: FARS (Financial Anomaly Risk Score), an AI model trained by CPAs and informed by millions of financial transactions, which leverages multidimensional pattern recognition to surface unusual entries often buried in raw accounting data. Each transaction is evaluated in context, so users are not just flagging outliers—they're uncovering meaningful financial risks that could impact EBITDA and influence the purchase price.

Abacus, an AI-focused accounting startup, announced $6.6 million in seed funding led by Menlo Ventures, with significant participation from Pear VC and participation from Recall Capital, and Original Capital. The Abacus platform, which just went through its first tax season, automates data collection by pulling from client documents, past returns and standard forms—without a 7216 consent form required—and classifies, reconciles and pushes data directly into CPA workflows for review and filing. The new funding will allow Abacus to expand its use of semi-autonomous AI assistants into the platform, which will learn firm-specific workflows and take on the rote, high-volume tasks that slow teams down. The bots work alongside teams, adapt to how they operate, and scale with their complexity. Abacus is currently expanding its team and hiring across several roles.
