What the job involves

Our take
Fieldguide offers a cloud-native collaboration and automation platform for accounting and advisory practices. The idea is to make workflow and collaboration more streamlined, and automate parts of it altogether, for teams working on cybersecurity, risk, and ESG audits.
Fieldguide has launched with a focus on three high-demand and high-growth areas of business. With cybersecurity and ESG in particular seeing increased corporate investment, thanks to the steep costs of error or regulatory non-compliance, demand for tech that can help manage this influx of auditing work is likely to grow fast. Indeed, Fieldguide has received an impressive funding injection which will see the company looking to expand the kinds of audit their product applies to, as well as aggressively growing their team.
Fieldguide has already netted some key audit and advisory firms as clients and a substantial Series B funding round, suggesting that the young company is onto something good. Internal productivity tools are seeing a boom across multiple industries, with automation also seeing a significant uptake for enterprise businesses. If Fieldguide can successfully manage its scale-up, it could become an important software player.
