Toronto-based Future Balance joins KlariFi with a focus on client continuity, familiar relationships and access to a broader range of financial expertise.

ORILLIA, ON, Oct. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — KlariFi Bookkeeping & Tax (“KlariFi”) today announced its acquisition of Future Balance, a Toronto-based provider of cloud accounting and financial advisory services for small and mid-sized businesses across Canada.

“Business owners need dependable financial support and people they can turn to when decisions become more complex,” said Charles Sheppard, Founder and CEO of KlariFi.

For Future Balance clients, continuity is the immediate priority. Clients will continue working with familiar professionals during the transition, and no immediate action is required. Any updates to branding, systems or communication channels will be introduced gradually and communicated directly.

“Business owners need dependable financial support and people they can turn to when decisions become more complex,” said Charles Sheppard, Founder and CEO of KlariFi. “Future Balance has built valued client relationships through practical expertise and personal service. Our first priority is to maintain that continuity while bringing together a broader team that can support clients as their needs evolve.”

The acquisition brings together complementary expertise in bookkeeping, payroll, tax compliance, financial reporting, cash-flow forecasting, controllership and fractional CFO services. It also expands KlariFi’s presence in the Greater Toronto Area while strengthening its national team.

For businesses seeking support beyond day-to-day bookkeeping and compliance, the combined organization connects core financial services with guidance on cash flow, planning and business performance.

More information about the acquisition and what it means for clients is available in KlariFi’s Future Balance acquisition announcement.

A broader service offering built around business owners’ needs

The acquisition supports KlariFi’s longer-term direction across three complementary service pillars:

Accounting & Tax: Bookkeeping, payroll and tax compliance, supported by cloud-based processes, professional judgment and review.Advisory & Financial Intelligence: Financial reporting, cash-flow forecasting, controllership and fractional CFO support to help business owners understand performance, plan ahead and make informed decisions.AI Transformation & Managed Automation: A service offering under development to help businesses assess practical opportunities for AI, implement selected financial and administrative workflows, and receive ongoing support for those processes.

KlariFi’s plans for AI-enabled services place professional accountability, client confidentiality and appropriate human oversight at the centre of service development. The goal is to help businesses reduce repetitive administrative work while maintaining the judgment and controls their financial operations require.

As the two teams come together, KlariFi’s focus remains consistent: reliable financial work, clear communication and practical guidance, delivered through relationships that business owners can rely on.

RoboParty Unveils RP1, a High-Performance Full-Stack Open-Source Humanoid Robot at IROS

Published

on

By

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On September 28, 2026, RoboParty publicly unveiled RP1 (ROBOTO 01) at IROS 2026, marking the robot’s global debut. Building on RPO (ROBOTO ORIGIN), its fully open-source humanoid project launched in January 2026 with more than 2,500 GitHub stars, RoboParty positions RP1 as the world’s first high-performance full-stack open-source bipedal humanoid robot — designed for researchers, educators, robotics developers and embodied AI teams.

At the company’s IROS booth, the “Kick Me” interactive demonstration let visitors directly push and kick the robot. RP1 rapidly adjusted its posture and recovered its balance under these external disturbances, testing its dynamic stability, body performance and system-level robustness. These capabilities were supported by PartyOS, RoboParty’s open R&D foundation for humanoid robotics, which integrates UFO — a training framework that discovers humanoid motor skills through unsupervised reinforcement learning, covering skill transitions, disturbance recovery and fall recovery without relying on predefined motion trajectories.

RoboParty is integrating the robot body, actuator modules, low-level control and embodied AI algorithms into one system for continuous joint validation. RP1 delivers peak joint torque of up to 160 N•m, built on in-house-developed Romomo actuator modules and a real-time motion-control system.

For RoboParty, “full-stack open source” means more than releasing mechanical files. The company plans to progressively open its motion-control systems, simulation environments, SDKs, training tools and the PartyOS development foundation, so developers can participate from hardware and low-level control to model training and deployment.

“Humanoid robots should not be closed systems that only a small number of teams can build while everyone else can do little more than watch,” said Yi Huang, founder of RoboParty. “We want RP1 to become an open foundation that developers can access, modify, train and continuously improve.”

RP1 builds on RPO’s validated open-source robot body and workflow, Romomo actuator modules and the dexterous RP Hand, with PartyOS evolving across humanoid locomotion, perceptual interaction, whole-body manipulation and autonomous intelligent humanoids.

Core team members studied at Tsinghua University’s Yao Class, Peking University’s Zhi Class, Harbin Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, Zhejiang University and other leading institutions. RoboParty has built a global community of more than 5,000 developers, and will announce further details of RP1’s open-source roadmap in October 2026, with broader software and hardware releases and a mass-production program to follow later in Q4.
