Carbonaro, founded in 1994, is an accounting and advisory firm serving clients across Maui and Hawaii Island. The firm will operate under the Accuity brand while retaining the same team of 32 employees. The deal brings Accuity's total headcount to 158 and physical office locations across the state to five. 

"We are excited to join Accuity and the broader Crete Professionals Alliance," John Carbonaro, managing partner of Carbonaro CPAs & Management Group, said in a statement. "This move allows us to bring even greater value to our clients while maintaining the trusted relationships and high-touch service they've always relied on."

Accuity is a locally-owned accounting and advisory firm in Hawaii. It services a variety of industries, including education, healthcare, technology, real estate, insurance, hospitality, retail, not-for-profit and government agencies.

"Bringing Carbonaro into the Accuity family is an exciting step in our growth strategy across Hawaii," Accuity CEO Cory Kubota said in a statement. "They've built strong relationships and a trusted reputation on the neighbor islands, which expands how we serve clients statewide. With the support of Crete Professionals Alliance, we're able to combine local expertise with the resources of a national platform to bring even more value to our clients."

Accuity is a partner firm of Crete Professionals Alliance, a network of accounting and advisory firms that just rebranded its name to Current. Hawaii is one of Current's fastest-growing territories. In 2025, Accuity acquired Ikeda & Wong CPA on Oahu.

Current ranked No. 28 on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list and is a Fastest Growing Firm. It reported $428 million in revenue, with 228 partners and over 1,800 employees across 67 offices. In 2025, it announced it planned to spend $500 million to buy CPA firms and upgrade them with artificial intelligence through a partnership with OpenAI.
