Director, Solutions Engineering

We are Fieldguide, and we're passionate about transforming the audit and advisory industry. Our journey began when our CEO and co-founder, Jin Chang, experienced firsthand the burnout and inefficiencies prevalent in the profession during his time at a Big Four accounting firm. He envisioned a future where technology could do more than just assist; it could fundamentally reshape how practitioners work. Teaming up with Chris Szymansky, our CTO and co-founder whom he met at legal AI startup Atrium, they set out to reimagine workflows for auditors. We saw a clear opportunity to leverage AI to address the growing imbalance between the high demand for accounting services and the shrinking supply of accounting graduates and CPAs. Our purpose at Fieldguide is to improve the lives of these dedicated professionals – the very people who facilitate trust in commerce and capital markets.

We're building a platform for auditors that takes the pain away from their daily tasks. Our AI-powered, cloud-native software is designed to digitize the end-to-end engagement lifecycle, incorporating the latest in generative and agentic AI to deliver dramatically better results. With just a few clicks, our customers can send client requests, generate reports, summarize documents, and associate client materials with relevant accounting controls. By automating the mundane aspects of the audit process, we empower CPA firms to take on more business without a corresponding increase in headcount, driving margin growth and freeing up professionals to focus on higher-value strategic work. We're proud that in a short time, nearly 40 of the top 100 CPA firms have entrusted Fieldguide to enhance their client engagements. We are committed to addressing the talent shortage in the CPA industry by providing AI solutions that enable practitioners of all levels to tackle manual tasks with speed, high quality, and in a secure, privacy-conscious manner. Our mission is to revolutionize the way advisory and audit work is done, delivering a broader range of AI cloud solutions to firms of all sizes.
