He breaks down exactly how the product works — from automating test-of-detail procedures to preparing first-draft workpapers — and highlights key features like Excel integration, configurability, and audit trail visibility. We discuss the $200B+ audit market ripe for disruption, how Midship stacks up against legacy tools, and the long-term vision of moving from audit sampling to continuous transaction monitoring. Kieran also shares the backgrounds of his technical co-founders, the journey which led to start Midship, and what’s next for the team.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yaObf3_LnKFBbwqSJqpRWi_bTJkNpbzGfAfCmR8fqqo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hOTM2/NjZmMjQ1OTIyYzQx/ZjkzZDc1ODBlZTE2/YWNiYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
