Atlas provides bookkeeping, financial reporting and operational support to contractors, HVAC companies, electricians, plumbers and solar businesses. Lewis Group, also based in Vancouver, offers tax preparation, advisory, virtual CFO support and audit protection programs to businesses and high-net-worth individuals across Washington and Oregon.

The deal combines Atlas's trades specialty and Lewis's full-service tax practice. 

"Atlas spent years building a practice that actually speaks contractor, including billing cycles, materials, equipment, multi-state crews," said Chris Lewis, founder of Lewis Group CPAs, according to the report. "The one piece they didn't handle was tax. Combining the two firms means a contractor working with us now gets specialty-trades bookkeeping from the people who've been doing it well, plus a CPA team that knows exactly what to do with those books at filing time.
