BACKGROUND

California's largest independent accounting firm

Armanino is the largest independent accounting and consulting firm in California and ranks among the top 20 US accounting firms by Accounting Today. The firm runs a large consulting arm alongside traditional accounting work.

After acquiring AccessTek, a Chicago cloud-software VAR, Armanino wanted to expand into western and midwestern markets and to position as a thought leader in cloud accounting.

CHALLENGE

Regional recognition, thin content engine, weak lead gen

REACH

CA-only recognition

The brand had strong local pull but low awareness in western and midwestern markets.

CONTENT

Thin content engine

The site lacked search optimization, structure, and downloadable assets.

PIPELINE

Scattered lead gen

Lead sources were fragmented and not tied to national thought leadership.

APPROACH

Inbound rebuild, Cloud Accounting Institute, and speaking

Modern SEO website

A national-scale site with polished brand voice and technical SEO.

Cloud Accounting Institute

Content and whitepapers
