Reclaiming Time: How Moby Analytics Transforms Financial Auditing
The world of financial auditing is complex, precise, and highly time-sensitive. Yet, it remains shackled by inefficiencies that waste both time and talent. Auditors today are spending nearly half of their working hours on menial, low-value tasks: chasing down documents, manually checking figures, and combing through PDFs. These activities, while necessary, are repetitive and detract from the real intellectual value auditors bring—judgment, critical thinking, and financial analysis.
This inefficiency not only drains productivity but also impacts audit quality and employee morale. In an era where automation is transforming every sector, the auditing profession has lagged behind. This is the fundamental pain point that Moby Analytics aims to eliminate.
How Does Moby Analytics Transform the Auditor's Workflow?
Moby Analytics positions itself as the first AI-native agentic platform created specifically for financial auditors. Rather than asking auditors to learn how to code or adopt generic AI tools, Moby meets them where they are—with a deep understanding of audit workflows and a no-code interface that speaks their language.
The platform enables auditors to create custom AI agents using natural language prompts—no programming required. Auditors simply define what they need the agent to do (e.g., extract data from invoices, validate journal entries, or summarize discrepancies), and the system handles the execution. These agents can then be deployed at scale, automating processes that used to take hours or even days.
The result is a streamlined workflow where tedious, manual operations are delegated to intelligent agents. What’s left for the human auditor? The work that really matters—deep analysis, insights, and decision-making.
What Makes Moby’s Technology Unique in the Audit Space?
While AI is becoming increasingly prevalent across industries, Moby Analytics is the first platform to bring agentic AI specifically into audit, where trust, accuracy, and context are non-negotiable.
Most generic AI tools lack domain specificity and cannot be reliably used in compliance-heavy sectors like auditing. Moby changes this by allowing agents to be trained and customized by the auditors themselves, with full transparency and control.
Key differentiators of the Moby platform include:
- No-Code Customization: Auditors can define agents using simple prompts, not scripts.
- Audit-Specific Templates: Built-in workflows tailored to common audit tasks like revenue testing or expense analysis.
- Reviewable Outputs: Every action taken by the agent is recorded, traceable, and auditable.
- Scalable Deployment: Once built, agents can be reused and applied to large datasets across multiple engagements.
This blend of AI flexibility and domain rigor makes Moby a game-changer for firms seeking efficiency without compromising compliance.
Who Are the Founders Behind Moby Analytics?
Moby Analytics is the product of years of experience, frustration with the status quo, and a shared mission among three friends turned co-founders: Dimitri Kassubeck, Thomas Rapilly, and Clément Sengelen.
- Dimitri Kassubeck (CEO) brings the voice of the auditor into the tech world. With a background at PwC and extensive experience pushing digital transformation in auditing, he deeply understands both the bottlenecks in audit workflows and the promise of AI.
- Thomas Rapilly (CTO) leads the technical architecture of the Moby platform. His work ensures that the tools auditors use are secure, scalable, and intuitive.
- Clément Sengelen (Head of AI) is the brain behind the platform’s AI engine. His role is to ensure the agents are not only powerful but also transparent and aligned with the audit profession’s strict standards.
Before founding Moby, the trio worked together on a data analytics agency that trained hundreds of auditors to use modern tools. That experience validated a core belief: auditors, when equipped with the right tools, can operate at a much higher level.
How Does Moby Fit into the Future of Financial Auditing?
The audit profession is at a turning point. As regulations tighten and datasets expand, firms are being asked to do more with less—more insights, more speed, more accuracy, and all under the watchful eye of regulators.
In this environment, traditional ways of working are unsustainable. Moby Analytics offers a vision of the future where auditors are not bogged down by busywork but empowered by automation. By giving them the ability to design and manage their own AI agents, Moby transforms the role of the auditor from data gatherer to strategic advisor.
Moreover, the platform is well-positioned to evolve with emerging trends such as:
- Continuous Auditing: With AI agents that can run constantly in the background, firms can move toward real-time assurance.
- Risk-Based Testing: AI agents can rapidly scan transactions for anomalies, enabling smarter sampling and risk prioritization.
- Talent Retention: By eliminating dull tasks, Moby helps firms retain top talent who seek meaningful work.
In short, Moby doesn’t just optimize audits—it redefines what auditors can be.
What’s Next for Moby Analytics?
Currently active and based in Paris, France, Moby is part of the Spring 2025 batch, with strong backing from Y Combinator and mentorship from primary partner Tom Blomfield. Their focus now is scaling their platform, onboarding early customers, and refining use cases across different types of audit practices—from mid-size firms to large enterprise-level audit departments.
Future milestones likely include:
- Expansion into other audit-intensive industries like insurance, government, and financial services
- Enhancing AI explainability and compliance capabilities
- Building a community of audit professionals who contribute workflows and best practices
- International market expansion beyond Europe
With its strong founding team, razor-sharp product focus, and mission-driven culture, Moby Analytics is well on its way to becoming a cornerstone in the evolving landscape of AI-powered financial assurance.
