Armanino case study
About the client

California's largest independent accounting firm, ranked among the top 20 in the US by Accounting Today.

Armanino is the largest independent accounting and consulting firm in California, ranked among the top 20 accounting firms in the US by Accounting Today. Beyond traditional accounting, the firm has a robust consulting division.

Following acquisition of AccessTek, a Chicago-based VAR specializing in cloud software, Armanino sought to expand its presence in new regions while positioning as a thought leader in cloud accounting.

i The challenge

Post-acquisition growth needs a national brand presence + content engine.

While AccessTek had strong credibility as a leading Intacct reseller, it lacked national brand visibility. Armanino needed to expand awareness beyond California into western and midwestern markets.

Their website didn't reflect the firm's scale — lacking search optimization, content structure, and lead generation. Beyond the website, they needed a more robust content marketing strategy and consistent multi-platform engagement.
