Hire a remote Internal Auditor

Mid–senior operators who own risk → evidence → clear findings, not checklist theater.

• Risk-based audit planning — Scope that hits material exposure, not annual busywork.
• Controls testing & walkthroughs — Design vs. operating effectiveness with documented proof.
• Process & financial audit execution — SOX/ICFR, ops, and fraud-risk work as the brief requires.
• Root-cause & recommendation quality — Findings that name the fix, owner, and residual risk.
• Sampling, analytics & workpapers — Evidence packs that survive review without rework.
• Stakeholder reporting — Audit committee / founder reads that prioritize action, not jargon.

How we vet before shortlist:

• Workpaper / case review — Real findings and remediations, not theory decks.
• Audit exercise — Can they scope a risk and name the next tests?
• References — Confirmed delivery with controllers, CFOs, or audit leads.
• Findings under pressure — Clear escalation when control failures are material.
• Founder-ready communication — Risk + next actions, not audit theater.
