The focused adoption of Fieldguide for their assurance engagements is the latest step in Crowe BGK's ongoing mission to embed leading tools into its workflows at a pace that keeps it ahead of the industry, while maintaining Crowe BGK's commitment to excellence in the insights and support it provides its clients. This is impactful not only for Crowe's AI transformation but also, more broadly, for the industry, as it is the first Canadian firm to embark on such a partnership with Fieldguide. "Our goal with this partnership is to give our teams access to a platform that aligns with our ambition for the firm, as a supplement - not a replacement - for the work the team already does well," said Brian Kreisman, Managing Partner of Crowe BGK. "We have spent the last several years building a culture that moves quickly on new technology, and Fieldguide is the natural next step in that journey." "The assurance profession is changing," says Aaron J Noga, CPA, Partner - Assurance Leader, "and so is the business model that has supported it for decades. The window to wait and see is closing, so we've made our bet on the future. By becoming the first accounting firm in Canada to adopt Fieldguide, we're combining the expertise and professional judgment of our people with technology and AI to rethink how assurance is delivered. That means more meaningful work for our people, more time understanding our clients' businesses and risks, and greater insight, quality, and value for our clients. We don't want to simply adapt to the future of assurance; we want to help shape it." "Digital transformation should do more than accelerate existing processes - it should fundamentally transform how our professionals work," adds Angela Giannoumis, CPA Auditor, MSc, Director of Digital Transformation and Assurance Innovation. "Fieldguide will give them more time to do what they do best: exercise judgment, think critically, solve complex problems, and engage meaningfully with clients. That is the true promise of AI in assurance. It does not replace professional expertise; it creates more space for that expertise to make an impact." This news from Crowe BGK is announced as CPA Canada's trusted Professional Engagement Guide (PEG) content becomes available throughout Fieldguide's AI platform for audit and advisory. This partnership gives Canadian firms, like Crowe BGK, a single, governed workflow for high-quality engagements. "Crowe BGK stood out as a potential partner - and our first in Canada - because they have already done the hard part: centering their clients' needs while becoming ready for a future supported by agentic AI. Their position as a pioneer in AI adoption made this an easy firm for us to get excited about," said Jin Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fieldguide. "Now, Fieldguide gives their auditors a platform that takes on the heavy lifting of data ingestion, so their people can focus on judgment and relationships, and their clients get the benefit of that capacity." Fieldguide's platform embeds AI capabilities across the engagement lifecycle, with structured workflows, transparency, and human oversight.
