Jin Chang: Killing SALY, One Agent at a Time | The Disruptors
Fieldguide’s AI rewrites the rules that have held audit back for decades.The DisruptorsWith Liz FarrLike many auditors, Jin Chang didn’t enjoy the manual work. “Why did I get a four-year degree to do this matching exercise between evidence and samples being tested?” he recalls thinking. “Why aren’t machines doing this better and faster?” So he founded Fieldguide, “the platform I wished I had, and the AI agents that we're building are the AI team members I wish I had to collaborate with.” His mission with FieldGuide is to automate the tedious work that drives talented people away from audit, allowing human practitioners to focus on judgment, strategy, and client relationships so “they have a promising career that I didn't see as attractive back then.” MORE STREAMING: Vanover: 5-Star Firms Don't Bill by the Hour | Kless: Profit Is a Result.

No Problem | Hood and Weber: Time to RISE | Proctor: Turn Dumb Ideas into Brilliant Solutions | Carter-Gray: How 1 Poor Review Strengthened the Firm | As Chang explains, with audit and assurance, “there's this rising set of client demands and expectations.” Clients demand quality assurance at reasonable fees. However, “quality assurance and reasonable fees don't often go hand in hand. They're often opposite levers.” This tension creates what he calls “a downward spiral of burnout,” where junior auditors struggle to deliver quality work within tight budgets. This results in auditors questioning their career choices. Adding to these pressures are uncompetitive salaries and unclear promotion paths. However, Chang views generative and agentic AI as a transformational technology that simultaneously enhances both quality and efficiency.
