The brief

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. Accounting Today ranks it in the top 20 in the US. Beyond accounting, it runs a strong consulting arm.

Armanino bought AccessTek, a Chicago firm that resells cloud software. After the deal, it wanted to reach new regions and become a thought leader in cloud accounting.

The problem

Growth after the acquisition needed a national brand and a content engine.

AccessTek was a trusted, leading Intacct reseller, but few people knew it across the country.

Armanino needed people outside California to know its name, in the West and the Midwest.

The website did not match the firm's size. It was not built for search, content or leads.

Beyond the website, the firm needed a stronger content plan and a steady voice on social platforms.

What we did

An inbound overhaul, the Cloud Accounting Institute and a speaking circuit.

We made the firm a known voice in cloud accounting, online and on stage.

We built a modern website that ranks in search and offers useful content. We launched the Cloud Accounting Institute as a home for thought leadership. We also kept its blog active.

We ran social on LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Free press, original studies, webcasts and talks at events spread the word.
