Built by former Big Four practitioners and experienced technology leaders, Fieldguide is trusted by top CPA firms to improve margins, win new business, and build stronger client relationships. 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.

About the role

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 specifically within cybersecurity, privacy, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). 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, Floodgate, Y Combinator, DNX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, Justin Kan, Elad Gil, and more.

We value diversity — in backgrounds and in 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 that we are building, seeking teammates that are not only strong in their own aptitudes but care deeply about supporting each other's growth.

As an early stage start-up employee, you’ll have the opportunity to build out the future of business trust. We make audit practitioners’ lives easier by eliminating up to 50% of their work and giving them 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.

About the Role:

We are seeking a strategic and operationally-minded Senior Director, FP&A to lead financial planning, analysis, and reporting at Fieldguide. You will be a key thought partner to the VP of Finance and executive team, bringing clarity and discipline to financial decisions across the company. This is a hands-on leadership role — ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and wants to help us scale to IPO.

Responsibilities:

  • Act as a strategic partner to executive team members to develop functional plans that support our growth ambitions.
  • Drive annual and quarterly budgeting process, rolling forecasts, and long-term planning.
  • Deliver accurate, insightful projections aligned with strategic priorities.
  • Lead monthly/quarterly reporting packages, including variance analysis and insightful commentary, as well as executive read-out of results and improvement areas.
  • Partner with functional leaders and People team on workforce planning, ensuring that we scale departments inline with benchmarks.
  • Serve as the strategic finance partner to Sales, Marketing, Product, and G&A leaders — delivering insights that improve decision quality and ROI.
  • Help define and track KPIs tied to growth efficiency, margin expansion, and capital allocation.
  • Build robust models to support pricing, product investment, go-to-market planning, fundraising, and M&A.
  • Mentor and manage FP&A staff. Establish best-in-class processes and tools to support scale.

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years in FP&A or corporate finance, with increasing responsibility in high-growth SaaS or AI companies; investment banking background a plus.
  • Expert-level fluency with modern planning tools (e.g., Runway, Pigment, Mosaic, Anaplan) and Excel/Google Sheets.
  • Strong command of accounting principles and how they influence financial planning and reporting.
  • Proven experience supporting go-to-market teams and headcount-heavy functions.
  • Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and structured in your thinking — with the ability to simplify complexity.
  • Excellent communicator and collaborator; comfortable working with senior executives and board members.
  • Team-oriented leader who enjoys developing talent and scaling processes.
