Top 20 accounting firm Armanino said Feb. 5 that it has acquired Complete Business Solutions (CBS), a Boca Raton, FL-based enterprise resource planning and technology consulting firm.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Founded in 1985, CBS brings a wealth of expertise in ERP software analysis, implementation, and technical support, adding depth to Armanino’s strategy and transformation capabilities. The deal bolsters Armanino’s ability to meet growing client demand for advanced ERP tools and AI-driven solutions while expanding its presence in Florida. It also provides CBS clients access to Armanino’s suite of tax, consulting, and accounting services, as well as the San Ramon, CA-based firm’s expertise in optimizing business performance and driving growth.

“CBS has built an outstanding reputation for their service-first approach and deep technical expertise that has separated them from the competition,” Armanino CEO Matt Armanino said in a statement. “They share strong alignment with our core values and commitment to technology, to drive transformative results. Together, we’re poised to bring even greater value to our clients and expand our leadership in technology and ERP consulting.”
The deal with Armanino will enable CBS clients to continue their relationships with CBS while also seamlessly migrating legacy Microsoft solutions, such as Dynamics GP, to Dynamics 365 or Business Central, according to a media release. Armanino said the transaction will enable the firm to further support its existing clients through advanced AI-driven tools that deliver reporting to enable smarter, data-driven decision-making.
“Our clients are at the heart of everything we do, and joining Armanino gives us the tools, resources, and expertise to serve them even better,” said Steve Weisz, president of Complete Business Solutions. “Since our first discussion, Armanino’s leadership in technology and its commitment to innovation were key reasons for this partnership. We’re excited to continue delivering exceptional service while offering expanded solutions to our clients.”
Last October, Armanino said it had received a minority investment from Further Global Capital Management, a New York-based employee-owned private equity firm that makes investments in businesses within the financial services industry. The accounting firm said the investment supports its strategic growth into additional markets, improves the firm’s technology infrastructure, and provides additional resources.
