rebranded from auvenir, the independent platform doubles down on ai, quality management, and underserved firms.

auvenir, the audit and compliance technology platform originally developed within deloitte, has officially spun out as an independent company under a new name: streamworks tech.
the move marks a strategic shift—not just in ownership, but in market focus, product direction, and long-term vision.
“ultimately, both sides agreed that… the customers are in the best hands, and the technology is in the best hands, with us continuing forward [as an independent company],” said neeraj sharma, chief operating officer of streamworks tech.
a deliberate break to accelerate innovation
founded in 2019 as a deloitte venture, auvenir operated independently while building cloud-based solutions for audit and assurance workflows. its technology has already been deployed across a wide range of organizations, including government audit bodies and cpa firms.
now, as streamworks tech, the company is positioning itself to move faster—and go deeper.
the separation, led by a management buyout, was driven by a desire to expand product capabilities and better serve small and midsized firms—an often underserved segment in audit technology.
“we have always had a laser focus on serving firms, enterprises and the public sector… with the latest technology tools, including ai, that deliver confidence, compliance and agility,” said ceo pete myers.
deloitte signals confidence in the spinout
deloitte, for its part, is maintaining a relationship with the platform while stepping back from ownership.
“we are proud of what deloitte and auvenir have achieved together… streamworks tech is well-positioned to continue building on its existing strengths under its current leadership,” said jean-marc mickeler, deloitte’s global audit and assurance leader.
the firm will continue using the technology under a perpetual license, even as streamworks charts its own path.
three product pillars—and a strong ai play
streamworks launches with a three-part product strategy:
- engagements platform for audit, review, and compilation workflows—designed with smaller cpa firms in mind
- enterprise solution already in use by large organizations and public audit offices
- quality management system (qms) aligned with evolving global standards
at the center of the offering is an ai-driven approach to documentation and workflow automation.
“this ai system actually makes it all readable and doable within the system,” sharma said, describing how unstructured documents like word and excel files are transformed into structured, usable audit content.
a bet on the mid-market moment
the timing of the move is notable.
as firms face increasing pressure—from talent shortages to rising compliance demands—many are looking for scalable, cloud-based solutions that don’t require big four budgets or infrastructure.
streamworks appears to be betting that the next wave of innovation in audit tech won’t be driven solely by the largest firms—but by tools purpose-built for the broader profession.
“our dynamic solution… can now be easily configured for any type of client engagement across many verticals,” myers said.
what it means for the profession
for cpa firms, especially in the small-to-mid-tier, the emergence of an independent streamworks could signal:
- more competition in audit and assurance tech
- faster innovation cycles outside big four ecosystems
- greater access to ai-enabled quality management tools
- increased focus on usability and scalability
and perhaps most importantly, it reflects a broader trend: technology platforms born inside large firms are increasingly stepping out on their own—bringing enterprise-grade capabilities to the rest of the profession.
