Leadership

Building trust through independent assurance — and hands-on financial partnership.

Arthur Mthombeni is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of APG Advisory LLC, a U.S.-licensed CPA firm offering a full range of audit, assurance, accounting, and advisory services. He brings over ten years of audit experience with Big 4 audit firms, where he audited multinational financial services institutions, and leads the firm's mission to help SaaS companies, nonprofits, retirement plan sponsors, small and medium-sized businesses, and other CPA firms build trust, strengthen their finance functions, and stay audit-ready as they grow.

With a professional foundation in accounting, auditing, and risk management, Arthur combines technical assurance expertise — across SOC examinations, financial statement audits, and employee benefit plan audits — with practical, hands-on experience helping clients run their day-to-day finance operations, from month-end close to controller and fractional CFO support.

Arthur is particularly passionate about helping growing organizations professionalize their finance function. He believes that clean books, strong internal controls, and audit readiness are not just compliance checkboxes, but strategic enablers that protect enterprise value and accelerate growth.

Under his leadership, APG Advisory is building a reputation for delivering practical, business-focused services that go beyond a single engagement. The firm's approach emphasizes executive-level insight, technical excellence, and long-term partnerships — whether that means leading an audit, supporting another CPA firm's engagement remotely, or serving as an outsourced controller.

As a lifelong learner, Arthur continually invests in expanding his expertise across audit methodology, accounting operations, governance, and risk management to ensure APG Advisory remains a trusted, full-service partner for its clients. His long-term vision is to establish APG Advisory as one of the most respected CPA firms in its markets, recognized for exceptional technical quality, integrity, and client service.
