Case Study: Speak accelerates a Big Four audit with Inscope

How Speak Accelerated Their Big Four Audit With a Two-Person Team

Speak, a fast-growing AI-powered language learning platform, faced a significant challenge as its lean, two-person finance team prepared for its first Big Four audit. The company needed to navigate traditional, manual audit workflows that were ill-suited for its AI-native and efficient operation, a process that typically requires weeks of drafting, multiple file versions, and often external contractor support. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor Inscope.

Inscope provided a modern audit workspace that replaced fragmented files with a single platform for collaboration. Using its Excel-native workflow and AI-powered tool Penny to generate footnotes and technical memos, Inscope enabled Speak’s team to produce an audit-ready package in hours instead of weeks. The solution saved significant time, eliminated version-control issues, and allowed the two-person team to complete the audit efficiently without needing external technical accounting support.
