AI Isn’t Replacing Consultants. It’s Redefining How Transformation Gets Done

San Francisco, CA — March 11, 2026. The Within Team is excited to announce a new strategic collaboration to reshape finance transformation engagements with Forvis Mazars, a leading global professional services firm known for its deep expertise in audit, tax, consulting, and digital transformation initiatives. Operating across more than 100 countries, Forvis Mazars helps organizations modernize their systems, strengthen operational efficiency, and navigate complex business change.

Together, Within and Forvis Mazars will enable clients to move beyond traditional, slow, and one-time transformations. The existing transformation process is time-intensive, requiring consultants to spend up to eight hours per employee conducting intakes before delivering static recommendations. Within will help Forvis Mazars accelerate this process by observing organizational processes and providing a faster, data-driven, and AI-enabled foundation for transformation.

For Forvis Mazars clients, Within will deliver additional value including:

1. Faster time-to-insight with AI Interviews and AI Observations to capture and analyze the current state.
2. Higher accuracy and improved alignment by capturing inputs from a more comprehensive in-depth set of stakeholders across multiple teams.
3. Accelerated outcomes by giving Forvis Mazars a clearer, more complete view of processes before sector-experience is applied and design, consultation, and implementation begin.

“Forvis Mazars brings unparalleled knowledge and expertise in delivering complex, enterprise-scale transformation projects, and we’re honored to partner with their team. Together, we’re giving finance teams a way to modernize with more clarity, speed, and confidence.”

— Andrew Antos, Co-Founder & CEO, Within

“This is a major step forward in how we help clients navigate finance transformation. By combining our team’s experience with Within’s AI capabilities, we can accelerate timelines, deliver sharper insights, and strengthen alignment across stakeholder groups.”

— Jared Forman, Principal – Quantitative and AI consulting, Forvis Mazars

We are thrilled to work together to deliver faster, high-impact transformation outcomes for finance teams across the globe.
