Goldman Sachs led a $75M Series C for Fieldguide, valuing the AI-native audit platform at $700M. This capital targets a crisis where 75% of CPAs are nearing retirement. Used by half of the top 100 U.S. firms, the platform yields 30-40% efficiency gains via autonomous agents. By automating procedures, audit teams could shrink from 10 people to 3 within years. It represents a structural shift from manual offshoring to high-margin agentic automation. π
