About Us:

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets by automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners. Put simply, we build software for the people who enable trust between businesses.

We’re based in San Francisco, CA, but built as a remote-first company that enables you to do your best work from anywhere. We're backed by top investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Y Combinator, Floodgate, Elad Gil, Justin Kan, Qasar Younis, Eric Ries, and more.

We value diversity — in backgrounds and experiences. We need people from all backgrounds and walks of life to help build the future of audit and advisory. Fieldguide’s team is inclusive, driven, humble, and supportive. We are deliberate and self-reflective about the kind of team and culture we are building, seeking teammates who are strong in their own aptitudes and care deeply about supporting each other's growth.

As an early-stage start-up employee, you’ll have the opportunity to build the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by eliminating up to 50% of their work and giving them a better work-life balance. If you share our values and enthusiasm for building a great culture and product, you will find a home at Fieldguide.
