Arbo combines technology-driven finance operations with trusted CPA advisory services, creating a unified ecosystem for accounting, tax, compliance, and financial planning.
ATLANTA, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Effective April 24, 2026, Arbo acquired Cone CPA Firm, a strategic expansion of its financial services ecosystem designed to help businesses access both modern finance technology and trusted CPA expertise through a unified relationship.
The expansion represents a significant step forward in the company’s mission to simplify financial operations, compliance, tax strategy, and advisory services for growing businesses and individuals.
WHY THIS MATTERS
For years, growing businesses have been forced to choose between innovative financial technology and the trusted advisory relationships that help them navigate tax strategy, compliance, and growth. Arbo’s acquisition of Cone CPA Firm eliminates that tradeoff.
Arbo Technologies built the software engine to automate IRS transcript retrieval, connect compliance to accounting, and give business leaders real-time visibility. On the advisory side, Arbo CPA provided the human expertise. Now, by welcoming Cone CPA Firm into the Arbo family, we’re taking that strategic advisory to a whole new level with enhanced tax planning, fractional CFO services, and deep CPA guidance.
This acquisition means you no longer have to piecemeal your financial life. Instead of juggling separate software vendors, bookkeepers, tax preparers, and outsourced CFOs, Arbo gives you a single, connected ecosystem. You get intelligent automation on the tech side and dedicated CPA expertise on the advisory side, everything you need to scale from day one.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CLIENTS
Clients of both Arbo and the former Cone CPA Firm will experience no service disruption. Under Arbo CPA, clients gain access to:
- Comprehensive tax planning and compliance support
- Accounting and bookkeeping services
- Strategic financial advisory and CFO-level guidance
- Access to Arbo’s technology platform and automation capabilities
- Integrated financial visibility across advisory and operational functions
- A single trusted partner for finance operations and financial expertise
All existing Cone CPA Firm team members, service commitments, contact information, and office locations remain in place. Clients will continue working with the same people they know and trust, now supported by the broader platform and resources of Arbo.
QUOTE: SAURAV BHANDARI, CPA | CEO, ARBO
“Our mission has always been to help businesses build stronger financial foundations. The expansion of Arbo CPA represents an important step forward in that mission.
Today’s finance leaders need more than software, and they need more than advisory services alone. They need an ecosystem that combines technology, expertise, and execution.
By bringing experienced CPA professionals into the Arbo platform, we’re creating a more comprehensive solution that helps organizations navigate financial complexity with greater confidence.”
— Saurav Bhandari, CPA, CEO of Arbo companies
