Increase Capacity and Audit Quality with Field Agents for Financial Audit

Increasing trust with AI for audit and advisory firms.

At Fieldguide, we believe AI should be thoughtfully integrated, not just inserted. It’s easy to retrofit a chatbot and call it innovation. But the audit profession demands more. More accuracy, more context, and more respect for the nuance of the work. Generic AI falls short. So we’ve taken a different approach, embedding purpose-built intelligence directly into our platform. Point solutions won’t solve the industry’s capacity crunch. End-to-end integration will.

Earlier this year, we launched Field Agents, our agentic AI solution designed for true multi-step workflow automation. Integrated with each firm’s methodology, Field Agents can autonomously design test plans, select samples, perform testing, and document results, delivering consistency, accuracy, and capacity gains. As a result, Fieldguide customers have been able to complete controls testing for risk advisory engagements that once took days in just a few hours, unlocking significant capacity to deliver greater value to existing clients or take on more clients to grow their practice.

Introducing Field Agents for Financial Audit

Today, I’m proud to share our next milestone: Field Agents for Financial Audit, designed to help firms scale without adding headcount and shift valuable practitioner time toward higher impact, higher quality work. At the heart of this release is our new Audit Testing Agent.

Fully Automate Audit Testing with Field Agents

Testing is the most time-consuming part of a financial audit, and often the most manual. Many teams still rely on workflows that involve copy-pasting across tools or piecemeal automation that stops short of full coverage.

The Audit Testing Agent changes that.

Built directly into the Fieldguide platform, the Audit Testing Agent automates the testing process end-to-end. From matching evidence to samples, extracting and validating data, to documenting results with direct source references, the Agent performs the entire workflow in seconds. Audit teams stay in control, focusing their time on investigating discrepancies, analyzing insights, and applying judgment—where they add the most value.

This level of automation delivers real impact. By automating up to 70% of testing, firms can increase quality, improve margins, and redirect talent toward strategic growth.

AI That Empowers, Not Replaces

There’s often concern that AI replaces people. We see it differently. Field Agents are designed to amplify auditors’ expertise. By removing the repetitive, manual work, AI creates more space for the kind of thinking only humans can do: Judgment, guidance, and building trust with clients. That’s where quality lives.

Unlock Growth with Fieldguide AI

This launch is part of a broader commitment to deliver enterprise-grade AI that fits seamlessly into how firms already operate. Fieldguide’s unified platform eliminates silos, strengthens documentation, and enhances quality across every stage of the audit.

This isn’t automation for its own sake. It’s purpose-built AI that solves real challenges and empowers practitioners to focus on what matters.
