Execute Rigorous Audits. Eliminate PBC Chasing & Workpaper Grunt Work.
As an Internal Audit Consultant or Risk Advisory Leader, your billable value is in testing high-risk controls, identifying control deficiencies, and advising the Audit Committee—not in tracking PBC logs, formatting test sheets, or cross-referencing audit sample binders. Sagedoer provides pre-trained audit support assistants supervised by an internal Project Manager at zero extra management charge.

What Audit Leaders Say About Sagedoer
Real feedback from CIA-certified consultants, SOX managers, and advisory directors.
"During Q3 interim testing for three public clients, PBC follow-ups were eating our staff alive. Sagedoer assigned an assistant who managed our entire AuditBoard request queue and matched 200+ samples. Our senior consultants spent 100% of their time on control exceptions."
"The dedicated Project Manager makes this a genuine managed solution. They review workpaper tick-marks and test sheet formatting before I ever inspect them. Sagedoer eliminated our need to hire another costly US-based junior auditor."
"We had 30 audio walkthroughs from business process owners. Our Sagedoer VA transcribed the recordings and turned them into immaculate Lucidchart swimlane flows with key controls clearly labeled. The external audit partner was thrilled with the workpapers."
"Scaling from 20 hours to 40 hours during year-end re-testing was completely friction-free. We maintained perfect continuity across our Workiva matrices and hit every audit committee deadline without burn-out."
