Field Marketing Manager, Conferences & Trade Shows

About Us

Fieldguide is establishing a new state of trust for global commerce and capital markets through automating and streamlining the work of assurance and audit practitioners with AI agents. We are based in San Francisco and have raised over $125M+ in venture funding from top Silicon Valley investors to accomplish our ambitious vision, including Goldman Sachs, Bessemer Venture Partners, 8VC, Floodgate, Y Combinator, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more.

Fieldguide has become the defining agentic company for CPAs, with more than 50%+ of the top-100 CPA firms as customers, including several Big 4, and an industry-leading NPS to match. We save up to 75% of time on manual tasks and unlock over 4x capacity for audit practitioners, helping provide the work-life balance that is rare in the profession. Fieldguide is on the same growth curve as the later-stage vertical AI leaders, but you would be joining early enough to have a meaningful impact.

Fieldguide values diversity, both in backgrounds and in experiences to help build the future of audit and advisory. We are deliberate in preserving a winning culture with their FFLOWI values - Fearless, Fast, Lovable, Owners, Win-Win, Inclusive - providing space for teammates to do their career’s best work through a tightly-knit support network.

If you want to shape the most important shift in how commerce and capital markets establish trust, alongside world-class teammates, Fieldguide would love to build with you.
