I am trying to add an ACF variable to a WordPress query

I have an ACF taxonomy field (firm_types), it returns the term object.

My form is sending the term_id. I think the problem is that I am returning the taxonomy object, not specifically the term_id, somehow I need to make that the comparison

form (this displays correctly)

    $terms = get_field('firm_types');
    		if( $terms ):
    			foreach( $terms as $term ):
    			  $option .= '<option value="'.$term->term_id.'">';
    			  $option .= esc_html( $term->name );
    			  $option .= '</option>';
               endforeach;
    		endif;

Search results page

    		
    $args = array(
        'post_type'			=>'companies',
        'post_status'       => 'publish',
    	'posts_per_page'    => 100,
    	'meta_query' => 
    					array(
    						'relation' => 'AND',
    						array(
    							'key'     => 'company_office_visibility',
    							'value'   => "yes" ,
    							'compare' => '='
    						)
    					)
    );	
    		
    
    if  (isset($final_architects_cat) &&  ($final_architects_cat != "")  )  {
        $args['meta_query'][] = array('key' => 'firm_types', 'value' => $final_architects_cat, 'compare' => '=');
    }
    
    	
    $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );

First question is, is the taxonomy field set up to save and load terms?
