Arvo Tech, a maker of tax strategy solutions for small businesses, is acquiring Mark Murphy and Associates and Lee and Associates, full-service accounting firms dedicated to helping companies maximize their financial futures.

By integrating comprehensive tax planning into its leading platform for simplifying access to federal and state incentive programs, Arvo’s goal is to provide an end-to-end solution that helps small businesses manage all aspects of their financial operations, including planning for the future.

Arvo has helped employers participate in employment-based tax incentive programs for more than a decade. During that time frame, the tax code has become more complex for employers to understand and manage, including the supplemental tax credit programs that congress offered during the pandemic. As the Trump-era tax cuts are set to expire in 2025, the next election is likely to bring about sweeping tax changes. Given these factors, it is critical that small businesses develop a more comprehensive tax strategy.
