Chief of Staff, ATG Limited

“The team was super responsive to our request, timeline, and various questions. We made the decision to pursue the credit pretty late in the game to meet our tax deadline and they really supported us on the effort. All wins in our book.”

Sham Mustafa

CEO, Correlation One

“Our experience with the Arvo team was outstanding! We were not familiar with the R&D credit and felt the process would be cumbersome. The Arvo team was really knowledgeable, very responsive, and solutions-oriented.”

April Seggebruch

EVP, Movista

“To be honest, I figured claiming the R&D tax credit would be an awful process, kind of like going to the dentist. With Arvo understanding the program was streamlined, easy, and presented in very simple terms. The team did a great job of removing all the clutter; getting down to what mattered most, and walking us through the process.”

Richard Cumberland

Controller, Zupt, LLC

“We had done R&D studies with another company that just took way too much employee and management time. And they were very expensive. Then I found Arvo. And it was an entirely different story. Clear directions. Easy software. Helpful people. Reasonable fees.”

FAQs

What makes Arvo different from a traditional CPA firm?

We combine the best of both worlds. Like a traditional firm, we provide a dedicated team of highly qualified experts. Unlike a traditional firm, we leverage a powerful, custom-built technology platform to automate processes, which means our experts spend their time on your strategy, not data entry. This results in a more proactive, efficient, and strategic partnership.

What is the relationship between Arvo and Clarus R+D?

Clarus R+D was founded as a sister company to Arvo to focus specifically on the R&D tax credit. Now, we have fully combined our expertise under the Arvo brand to offer a single, unified source for all of our clients’ tax and accounting needs.

Who are your typical clients?

We specialize in helping small and medium-sized businesses that are ready to go beyond basic compliance and build a real financial strategy. Over 90% of our clients joined us as SMBs, and we pride ourselves on being their long-term growth partner.

Why the name "Arvo"?

While “Arvo” is Finnish for “value,” for us it represents the values we bring to our clients every day: excellent work, innovative thinking, and a genuine, human partnership. It’s our commitment to turning your finances from a burden into a source of strength.
