About Bead AI
Summary
Bead AI builds AI agents for internal audit teams, starting with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance testing. The agents collect evidence from source systems, validate submitted files, execute existing testing plans step by step, and produce marked-up working papers, replacing the manual document chasing, screenshot comparisons, and spreadsheet population that consume most of an auditor's time. The target customer is any US-listed company running an internal SOX audit program.
Business model
Demo-led sales to enterprise internal audit teams
Go-to-market
Bead targets internal audit leaders at US-listed companies and brings them in through direct sales conversations, with prospects requesting a demo as the entry point.
