Fieldguide is a Y Combinator-backed AI-native platform built for audit and advisory firms that need to deliver higher quality work in less time — without adding headcount. As regulatory complexity grows and talent shortages intensify across the professional services industry, Fieldguide gives practitioners the AI infrastructure to automate the most time-consuming parts of their engagements and focus on what actually requires human judgment.
Key Capabilities
Field Agents — AI-Native Audit Automation: Fieldguide's proprietary AI agents autonomously execute end-to-end audit and advisory workflows — from reviewing uploaded client evidence and flagging inconsistencies to running substantive test procedures and generating reports — with an error rate under 1% versus manual processes. Testing automation reaches up to 70% across engagement types.
End-to-End Engagement Management: The platform centralizes every aspect of the engagement lifecycle — workpaper management, request management, reporting automation, and client communication — in a single system of record. This eliminates the fragmented, point-solution stacks that slow most firms down and create quality inconsistencies across engagements.
Client Hub: A modern, branded client portal that transforms the traditionally painful evidence collection and review process into a streamlined, transparent experience — reducing back-and-forth, improving response times, and raising the bar on client satisfaction across every engagement.
Insights & Analytics: Fieldguide surfaces engagement-level and firm-wide performance data that helps partners and managers identify bottlenecks, track quality metrics, and make data-driven decisions about resource allocation and process improvement.
Multi-Practice Coverage: Unlike point solutions built for a single use case, Fieldguide supports financial audit, SOC audits, risk advisory, IT audit, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, and tax — giving firms one platform to run every practice area with consistent methodology and quality standards.
Strategic Value
Fieldguide acts as a force multiplier for audit and advisory firms that are under pressure to do more with less — delivering 32% fewer engagement hours, dramatically reduced manual testing time, and measurably better client outcomes across the board. Trusted by 50% of the top 100 accounting firms including KPMG, BDO, Baker Tilly, Grant Thornton, and RSM, and backed by Y Combinator, Fieldguide is defining what the AI-native professional services firm looks like — and giving the firms that adopt it a structural competitive advantage that compounds over time.
