Fieldguide, an agentic AI-native platform for audit and advisory, announced Monday a $75 million Series C funding round led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, with participation from new investor Geodesic and existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, and Thomson Reuters.
The financing brings Fieldguide’s total funding to $125 million and values the San Francisco-based company at $700 million.
“We built Fieldguide to support the people doing this work and to solve a structural problem in the profession,” Jin Chang, co-founder and CEO of Fieldguide and a former CPA, said in a statement on Feb. 2. “This funding allows us to scale a proven model where agentic AI and human experts work together to increase capacity, elevate quality, and build a more sustainable future for audit and advisory.”
Fieldguide provides an end-to-end, AI-native platform that embeds agentic AI directly into engagement execution. Its AI agents operate as part of the engagement team, executing high-volume, repeatable, and data-intensive work across the full lifecycle of an audit or advisory engagement, according to the company. This frees capacity and allows practitioners to spend more of their time on judgment, client relationships, and the strategic advisory work that defines their professional expertise.
“Audit and advisory firms are facing a structural capacity problem. Regulatory complexity and client expectations continue to increase, while the supply of qualified professionals declines,” Fieldguide says in a Feb. 2 media release. “CPA exam candidates are at a 17-year low and as many as 75% of today’s CPAs are expected to retire over the next decade. Experts estimate an existing 125-million-hour capacity shortfall, equivalent to over $25 billion in unmet demand, with the gap projected to reach approximately 600 million hours and more than $230 billion annually by 2030. Closing this gap requires a new execution model, one where human professionals collaborate with agentic AI to modernize workflows and increase practitioner capacity without compromising on quality or compliance.”
