Builds AI software for audit and advisory firms
Fieldguide builds AI software for accounting and advisory firms to manage audits, risk assessments, and other client engagements in one shared workspace. Its Field Agents divide engagement work across planning, evidence testing, review, and financial statement preparation, with practitioners directing the work and approving results. The platform connects document requests, workpapers, and reporting so firms and their clients work from the same engagement records instead of separate files and email threads. Firms buy subscriptions to the hosted software, with implementation services covered by their contracts. Fieldguide was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States.
