Every year Chris Seely, one of our Supervising Seniors in our Tax Department, organizes a firm-wide Adopt-A-Family program where we all donate money and gifts to families in need. This is a great effort from Chris, those who helped her and all of those who participated. Below is a letter to the firm from Chris outlining the impact our firm was able to make on these families this season. Collectively, the firm did a great job and we are proud of what we were able to accomplish by coming together.
Happy Holidays,

During this segment of our podcast series, Andy and Stephanie discuss the exposure to the multitude of industries one will experience during his or her first few years with the firm.
Dean continues the conversation by telling us how, after he learned what industries he liked, HE chose where to specialize.
This week, our trusty AMLLP blog-cam caught up with Audit Manager, Jim Johnson, who shares his thoughts on opportunities at Armanino McKenna compared to other firms, “Here with the growth and development, there is room for everyone to move up…”
Every year AM hosts an internal event where the entire firm participates in a single initiative from cross selling to recruiting to giving back to the community. Watch the Mission Possible video that kicked off the cross selling and lead generation event starring our Managing Partner, Andy Armanino as the Tom Cruise character. Watch Andy battle his way through various “road blocks” until he finally reaches his mission.
AM offers free sodas, waters and snacks throughout the year for its employees. Watch this video poking fun at all of the different opinions of what snacks should be served at the firm.
A few weeks back, the infamous AMLLP blog-cam caught up with Dana near the conference room. When asked what she might have to say to potential employees about some advantages of working at Armanino McKenna, Dana replied:
“The culture is fun, the people are fun, so the environment as a whole makes you want to come to work every day.”
Just outside the neighborhood deli, Kevin Turco explains for the AMLLP blog-cam about the kind of rotational internships that make Armanino McKenna a great place to learn.
“…you can really get an experience for multiple parts of that public accounting world.”
