Grant Thornton Advisors Partners with Fieldguide to Power Next-Generation Risk and Controls Services with Agentic AI
SAN FRANCISCO and CHICAGO, July 14, 2026 — Fieldguide, the AI-native platform transforming advisory and audit services through human-AI collaboration, today announced a strategic partnership with Grant Thornton Advisors LLC (Grant Thornton Advisors), one of America’s leading providers of advisory and tax services. As organizations navigate increasing regulatory complexity and the need for more timely insights, the firms are working together to modernize the delivery of key risk and compliance services.
Through this partnership, Fieldguide’s agentic platform will serve as the technology foundation behind CompliAI, Grant Thornton Advisors’ AI-enabled controls and risk assessment tool, as well as the firm’s additional risk and controls solutions. Fieldguide’s technology will support service delivery across the U.S. Advisory practice and underpin Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, fraud risk, and other risk advisory engagements.
Powered by Fieldguide, CompliAI embeds AI agents directly into the core of engagement execution, allowing Grant Thornton Advisors’ professionals to automate high-volume, repeatable work while maintaining full human oversight, auditability, and professional judgment. In turn, clients will benefit from improved efficiency, enhanced transparency, and quicker insights into their risk and compliance activities.
The partnership also reflects a shared belief that the future of advisory services is built on human expertise and AI working together. By combining Grant Thornton Advisors’ deep acumen and methodologies with Fieldguide’s professional-grade AI agents, the firms are redefining and modernizing the delivery of regulated, judgment-intensive work at scale — helping clients navigate increasing complexity while maintaining trust.
“Grant Thornton Advisors has a long history of investing ahead of the curve to better serve our clients,” said Tony Buffomante, national managing partner of Cyber and Risk services at Grant Thornton Advisors LLC. “Our work with Fieldguide builds on that foundation. By embedding AI into our risk and controls work, we can drive greater consistency and transparency while freeing our teams to focus on higher-value judgment and insights. The result is more efficient, high-quality outcomes, and stronger trust in the process.”
“Grant Thornton Advisors is demonstrating what it means to lead in the next AI-driven era of the profession,” said Jin Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fieldguide. “They’re not experimenting with AI at the edges; they’re embedding the technology into the core of how work gets done. Together, we’re offering a solution where human judgment and AI agents collaborate to deliver higher-quality outcomes, greater capacity, and a more sustainable future for advisory services.”
The partnership builds on the two organizations’ broader, multi-year collaboration. Today’s announcement marks an expansion of Fieldguide’s role across Grant Thornton Advisors’ SOX compliance and risk offerings, with plans to extend into additional service lines and geographies over time, further enhancing how Grant Thornton Advisors supports clients across evolving regulatory and risk environments.
Grant Thornton Advisors joins a growing group of leading firms using Fieldguide as a platform for transformation, leveraging agentic AI to modernize engagement delivery while upholding the rigor, security, and trust the profession demands.
