H&CO Acquires B2Finance and Accelerates Expansion in Brazil

The transaction reinforces H&CO’s strategy to expand its presence in Latin America through integrated accounting, payroll, tax, and corporate finance solutions.

São Paulo, January 2026 — H&CO, a leading multinational professional services firm with operations in over 30 countries, has announced the acquisition of B2Finance, a Brazilian company specializing in the outsourcing of financial, accounting, tax, and payroll processes, supported by a strong technology platform and a well-established domestic operation.

This move marks H&CO’s strategic entry into the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) segment in Brazil and supports the expansion of its integrated professional services portfolio, particularly for companies operating in complex regulatory environments and pursuing international growth.

The acquisition reinforces H&CO’s commitment to expanding its service portfolio and strengthening its presence in Brazil. According to Renato Halt, Co-Founder of B2Finance, the similarity in values and corporate culture between the two companies was essential in building the trust that enabled the transaction.

“This union represents an important step for both parties. We bring to the H&CO group a solid and experienced operation, built in Brazil with great consistency, and gain access to resources that will further accelerate our delivery capabilities”,  explained the executive, who now also joins the holding company’s shareholder group.

Halt also highlighted the advantages the acquisition will bring to B2Finance both domestically and, eventually, internationally.

“This acquisition allows us to expand our capabilities, leverage a global infrastructure, and continue delivering the same level of quality our clients expect—now with greater scale, technology, and opportunities,” he added.

Expansion in Brazil and Globalization of Operations

The integration of B2Finance into the H&CO group represents a strategic growth move for both organizations. Over the past three years, the Brazilian company recorded cumulative revenue growth of 51% and projected expansion exceeding 25% in 2026.

As the acquisition includes the sharing of H&CO’s global technologies with B2Finance, expectations are that this positive performance will serve as a platform for introducing the holding’s solutions into the new market. Through this integration of platforms and expertise, both companies plan to expand their global outsourcing presence, with a focus on scalable solutions and embedded intelligence.

According to Armando Hernandez, CEO of H&CO, the strategy also includes replicating proven Brazilian methods, processes, and technologies in other regions where the company already operates, further driving international growth.

“The B2Finance team brings deep technical expertise that perfectly complements our global platform. Together, we strengthen our ability to deliver comprehensive and integrated financial solutions to clients worldwide,” said Hernandez.

Positive Impact for Clients and Partners

For B2Finance clients, the acquisition provides expanded access to global technologies, new service capabilities, and an international support network. The Business Transformation Outsourcing (BTO) model, already well established by the company, will be enhanced with additional layers of automation, data intelligence, and compliance.

“Clients can expect a smooth transition, with continuity of service and access to an even more robust structure of solutions and international support,” Hernandez emphasized.

Strategic partners such as SAP and TOTVS are also expected to benefit, as H&CO is among the world’s leading SAP integrators. In addition, alliances with technology companies such as LeverPro, which integrates financial analysis into BTO routines, will remain active and are expected to expand into other countries.

Focus on People, Innovation, and Governance

With more than 300 employees, B2Finance will maintain its current structure, now connected to H&CO’s global ecosystem. Valuing people, diversity, and innovation remains central to the company’s culture, which will now offer new opportunities to its professionals, including participation in international projects and training in new technologies, standards, and global governance practices.

According to Mauro Inagaki, CEO of B2Finance and now also a board member of the H&CO holding, this new phase brings an optimistic outlook for the company’s future.

“This acquisition positions us to grow with greater scale, efficiency, and technology, without sacrificing the agility and values that have shaped our 30-year journey,” the executive concluded.
