SparkAnglesThe Big Four built their business on information advantages. SparkAngles gives you the same advantage.
PwC, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG have dominated strategic consulting for decades. Their core product — synthesizing complex information into clear strategic recommendations — has always been valuable. It has also always been expensive, slow, and inaccessible to businesses without eight-figure budgets. AI has changed that equation completely. SparkAngles delivers the intelligence layer of what consulting firms do — market analysis, competitive positioning, strategic recommendations — automatically, daily, for any business.

What the Big Four Sell vs What Most Businesses Actually Need
The Big Four sell enterprise transformation — full scope advisory, regulatory compliance, implementation support, executive guidance. Valuable but expensive and slow. Most businesses do not need Big Four-level transformation. They need daily strategic intelligence. They need to know what's happening in their market, who their competitors are, what their customers are doing. They need that information fast, and they need it continuously.
SparkAngles is what happens when you take the intelligence and analysis work that the Big Four does and optimize for speed, frequency, and personalization instead of scope and transformation. Same quality of thinking. Different product entirely.
The Democratization of Strategic Intelligence
For 50 years, strategic intelligence was the advantage of large organizations. You were big enough to afford consultants, or you were not. You had internal intelligence teams, or you were guessing. That information asymmetry gave large enterprises a structural competitive advantage. AI changes that. SparkAngles delivers enterprise-quality strategic intelligence to any business for $49/month. This is not disruption of consulting firms — it is democratization of the information layer that consulting is built on.
When You Still Need the Big Four
- •Audits and financial controls
- •Regulatory compliance and tax advice
- •Large-scale transformation programs
- •IPO preparation and capital structure
- •Implementation support and change management
SparkAngles does not compete in any of these areas. We compete in the daily intelligence layer that previously only existed inside Big Four engagements or in the intelligence teams of Fortune 500 companies.
Questions
Does SparkAngles replace the Big Four?
No. PwC, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG deliver audits, regulatory compliance, transformation programs, and large-scale advisory. SparkAngles does none of that. We deliver the intelligence layer only — daily market analysis and competitive positioning written for your specific business. When you need audits, regulatory guidance, or transformation support, you still need the Big Four. When you need daily strategic intelligence, you need SparkAngles.
Why is SparkAngles so much cheaper than Big Four consulting?
Because we only do one thing — deliver daily strategic intelligence. The Big Four do everything: audits, tax, regulatory, transformation, implementation. That scope requires expensive expertise. SparkAngles focuses on the intelligence layer and automates it with AI. Same quality of thinking about markets and competition. Radically different cost because we are not doing 99% of what the Big Four does.
When do I actually need Big Four consulting?
When you need compliance expertise (audits, tax, regulatory), transformation support, IPO preparation, or large-scale implementation. SparkAngles does not touch any of that. But if you're paying Big Four consultants to spend billable hours on research and news monitoring, SparkAngles can replace that layer. Feed SparkAngles intelligence into your Big Four engagements and reduce research time by 30-50%.
