AI labs Superglue and Artifact are partnering to automate the client onboarding process for accounting firms. This integration allows firms to manage setup and data migration through the first month-end close using specialized AI agents.
Why it matters
Accounting firms often lose significant time on administrative implementation tasks before advisory work can begin. This partnership aims to solve the difficulty firms face when trying to integrate AI software into existing client workflows.
Superglue agents map and validate client data across ERP systems like Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, and Acumatica. Artifact agents then ingest, classify, and reconcile this data to facilitate automated workflows.
