Fieldguide Inc. has secured $75 million in its Series C round, primarily from Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, that included a new investor Geodesic and the existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, and Thomson Reuters. The total amount raised by the company is now $125 million, and it is valued at $700 million. The company plans to reinvest the new capital to build out its agentic AI platform for the audit and advisory industry. The audit and advisory sector is under a lot of pressure due to the increased regulatory complexity and shortage of talent. The number of CPA exam candidates is at a 17, year low, and up to 75% of current CPAs are expected to retire over the next decade. This will result in a capacity gap that will reach 600 million hours and $230 billion in unserved demand by 2030; Fieldguide, through its end, to, end AI, native platform, is effortlessly integrating agentic AI into the core of an engagement to automate high, volume, repeatable, and data, intensive tasks across the whole audit and advisory engagements lifecycle, thus, the professionals are freed to focus on judgment, relationships, and strategic advisory work while quality, compliance, governance, traceability, and human visibility are not compromised. “The future of audit and advisory depends on how effectively firms combine human judgment with AI-driven execution,” said Harris Pollack, Vice President with Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. “Fieldguide embeds AI and agentic workflows directly into how engagements are delivered – helping firms move faster while maintaining the standards that the profession depends on. This establishes a new foundation for how the audit and advisory industry will operate.”

Fieldguide’s platform is already in use by half of the Top 100 U.S. accounting firms, including Big Four members and other leading providers, and is purpose-built for regulated environments, combining agentic execution with practitioner accountability to close the talent gap and extend capacity at scale. “KPMG is professionalizing agents to simplify data collection and accelerate execution–empowering our professionals to deliver next-generation quality,” said Brian Fields, Enterprise Innovation Leader at KPMG, highlighting a commitment to a future where human teams collaborate with AI for trusted insights and differentiated client experiences. “We’re extremely pleased with our decision to partner with Fieldguide,” added Mark Hinsen, Partner-in-Charge of Audit and Assurance at Anders CPA, noting that the onboarding process was straightforward and that AI agents are expected to improve efficiency across financial audits, allowing auditors to focus more on judgment, review, and client relationships instead of manual execution. “We built Fieldguide to support the people doing this work, and to solve a structural problem in the profession,” said Jin Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fieldguide. “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.”
