As we head to Orlando to sponsor the Aprio Firm Alliance Summit, I'm thrilled to announce that Rho has entered into a strategic partnership with Aprio, one of the nation's premier accounting and business advisory firms.
This collaboration represents a significant milestone in our mission to provide growing businesses with the comprehensive financial infrastructure and relationships they need to scale efficiently.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
At Rho, we've always believed that growing businesses shouldn't have to become banking and financial services experts just to manage their operations effectively. When we met the team at Aprio, we discovered a shared commitment to simplifying complexity and delivering concierge-level service to ambitious companies.
As Richard Koppelman, CEO of Aprio, puts it: "Rho is built to scale with businesses, just like Aprio. With our Rho partnership, we help give our clients a competitive edge by making their business banking simple. We're committed to creating efficiencies for our clients every step of the way. It's part of how we help you grow with Aprio."
Solving Real Business Challenges
This partnership addresses critical pain points we've observed across our customer base, which includes startups, SMBs, and scaling organizations. Too many growing companies find themselves managing multiple financial service providers, dealing with different platforms for banking, corporate cards, expense management, and accounting. It isn’t a relationship - it’s vendor management. The result? Fragmented data, manual reconciliation processes, and countless hours spent on administrative tasks instead of growing the business.
Through our collaboration with Aprio, businesses now have access to a truly integrated solution that combines:
Rho's comprehensive fintech banking platform offerings:
- Business checking with $0 ACH and wire transfer fees
- Corporate cards with up to 2% cashback1 through Rho Platinum
- Automated expense management and bill pay
- US Treasury Bill and Mutual Fund investing
- Real-time accounting integrations
Aprio's world-class advisory services:
- Tax consulting and compliance
- Financial statement audits
- Quality of earnings reports
- Business advisory and strategic planning
- ERP migrations from QuickBooks to NetSuite
Serving Businesses at Every Stage
Our partnership is designed to support three key customer segments that both Rho and Aprio serve:
SMB Owners (<50 employees) who prioritize no-fee banking, high yields, and consolidated financial management
Startup Founders with VC funding who need scalable, secure financial infrastructure with FDIC protection
Finance Leaders at scaled companies (50-5,000 employees) who require sophisticated spend controls, fast reconciliation, and comprehensive visibility into corporate spending
Proven Success Together
We've already seen tremendous success with joint clients like Polimorphic, Convene, and Herd Security. These partnerships demonstrate the power of combining Rho's modern banking platform with Aprio's expereince in delivering forward-looking advisory solutions.
Our collaboration also extends to customer acquisition, where we've identified key triggers that indicate when businesses are ready for our solutions:
- Companies using legacy providers like American Express, Capital One, Concur, or Expensify
- International businesses needing a fast US banking setup
- Organizations earning less than 4% on idle cash or 1.5% cashback on corporate cards
- Businesses frustrated with poor customer service across their financial stack
Exclusive Partnership Benefits
To celebrate this partnership, we're offering Aprio clients an exclusive incentive: businesses that deposit $250,000 or maintain $10,000 in monthly Rho credit card spend will receive a $3,000 statement credit2, amongst other perks.
Looking Ahead
This partnership represents more than just integrated technology—it's about empowering businesses to focus on what they do best while we handle the financial complexity. Both Rho and Aprio share a philosophy of concierge-level service and streamlined solutions, making us natural partners in supporting business growth.
As we continue to expand this partnership, I'm excited about the efficiencies we'll create for our shared clients and the competitive advantage we'll help them achieve in their respective markets.
