About Us

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners with AI agents. They are based in San Francisco and have raised over $125M+ in venture funding from top Silicon Valley investors to accomplish their ambitious vision, including Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more.

Fieldguide has become the defining agentic company for CPAs, with more than 50%+ of the top-100 CPA firms as customers, including several Big 4, and an industry-leading NPS to match. They save up to 75% of time on manual tasks and unlock over 4x capacity for audit practitioners, helping provide the work-life balance that is rare in the profession.

They are deliberate in preserving a winning culture with their FFLOWI values - Fearless, Fast, Lovable, Owners, Win-Win, Inclusive - providing space for teammates to do their career’s best work through a tightly-knit support network.
