M&A

Abbott, Stringham & Lynch acquires ArightCo to broaden finance services

What's the deal? Abbott, Stringham & Lynch, a San Jose-based accounting firm, has acquired ArightCo, a finance and accounting solutions provider. The deal brings ArightCo's outsourced finance and accounting capabilities under Abbott, Stringham & Lynch's umbrella, expanding the firm's service offerings beyond traditional accounting and advisory work.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Demand for outsourced finance and accounting services has grown as companies — particularly startups and mid-market firms — look to cut costs and access specialised expertise without building full in-house teams.

As clients increasingly expect a single partner for everything from bookkeeping to strategic advisory, firms that can bundle services stand to win more business.
