When Automation Meets Advisory: Why Our Partnership with Artifact AI Matters

Automation + Advisory = Impact

After more than 25 years in the accounting and advisory profession, it’s rare for a conversation to stop you in your tracks. But that’s exactly what happened the first time I met Ariel Harmoko, Founder and CEO of Artifact AI.

Within minutes, it was clear he not only understood the technology driving accounting transformation — but also why it matters.

For years, I’ve watched accountants spend their best hours reconciling instead of advising — buried in exports, chasing files, and cleaning data long before they ever reach the conversations that move a business forward.

At 4impactdata, we built the Business Guidance System to change that equation — to help firms 10X their advisory capacity without adding headcount. Our mission has always been to change the odds for business owners, giving them a better chance to survive and thrive through smarter, faster decisions.

That’s why our new partnership with Artifact AI isn’t just exciting — it’s a turning point.

Bridging Automation and Advisory

Artifact AI builds intelligent agents that quietly handle the unglamorous work: collecting files from clients, reconciling transactions, and preparing clean, structured data.

4impactdata takes that clean foundation and turns it into decision-ready insights: visibility into what’s happening, what’s ahead, and what to do next.

Together, we’re bridging the gap between automation and advisory. When firms can trust their books, they can finally trust their guidance.

Why It Matters for CPA Firms and CAS Practices

The biggest constraint on advisory growth isn’t desire, it’s capacity. Firms want to guide clients, but messy data and manual processes hold them back.

This collaboration solves that problem at the root.

• Artifact AI ensures the data is accurate, timely, and standardized.
• 4impactdata delivers the alerts, insights, and guidance that help advisors act with confidence.

The result is an end-to-end system for advisory excellence, one that frees accountants to spend less time reconciling and more time shaping outcomes.

Advisory stops being aspirational and becomes operational.

A Shared Vision

From our first conversation, it was clear that Ariel and the Artifact AI team share our belief that automation should serve human judgment – not replace it. Both of our companies are built on the same philosophy: technology should multiply human insight.

By integrating our platforms, we’re giving accountants the tools to do exactly that, to become the strategic heartbeat of every business they serve.

What’s Next

We’re rolling out this partnership with select CPA firms and fractional CFO teams over the coming months. Together, we’ll refine the playbook from data ingestion to guided advisory, and share results as early adopters put the combined solution into action.

This is the next step in delivering on our promise to help firms scale advisory without scaling headcount, and to give business owners a greater chance to succeed.

If your firm is ready to move beyond dashboards and into guided advisory, we’d love to show you what’s next.
