Centri partners with Fieldguide to strengthen Risk Advisory Practice

Centri Business Consulting, one of the industry's fastest-growing and most respected accounting and advisory firms, today announced that it has partnered with Fieldguide, the leading transformation partner for agentic audit and advisory, to strengthen the delivery of its Risk Advisory services. Fieldguide is an innovative, AI-native platform designed for audit and advisory firms to manage and streamline client engagements. It combines workflow management, collaboration and agentic AI capabilities to help firms improve efficiency, consistency and visibility while delivering risk advisory services. Through the partnership, Centri will leverage the Fieldguide platform to further standardize client engagements, increase collaboration and provide clients with greater visibility into ongoing engagements and into each client’s own control environment and risk posture.

“Partnerships like this are especially valuable to us because they allow our team to spend more time providing strategic guidance and less time on administrative processes,” said Rich Sowalsky, Partner and Risk Advisory Practice Leader at Centri Business Consulting. “We’re excited to leverage all that Fieldguide has to offer as we continue to deliver the level of client service that sets our firm apart.” Jin Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of Fieldguide, added, “Firms like Centri are being asked to scale their risk advisory practices, without losing the judgment that makes their advice invaluable to their clients. We are honored to support Centri as they build for this future while keeping its team focused on what matters most to their clients’ businesses.”

Centri’s partnership with Fieldguide builds on the firm’s broader investment in technology. In 2025, Centri launched Centri Lab, a platform built to create, test and apply new technology that strengthens its internal operations and client service capabilities, while giving team members a direct channel to contribute ideas and help shape new tools. Through Centri Lab, Centri developed CORA, its first proprietary AI agent, built to onboard new team members and support their professional development. This same approach carries into the Fieldguide partnership, applying technology purposefully to strengthen how Centri's team delivers for clients.
