Founded in 1953, Armanino has doubled its size in a span of five years. With offices in San Ramon, San Francisco, and San Jose, Armanino has become the largest CPA firm based in California. While the firm possesses the resources to work with large private and public corporations, Armanino McKenna has never misplaced the importance of client service. We have changed our scale, not our culture.

On Being Green
Armanino is certified by the Bay Area Green Business Program, a nonprofit agency created by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The program verifies that businesses are meeting higher standards of environmental performance as well as taking actions to conserve resources, prevent pollution, and minimize waste. To secure its green certification, Armanino McKenna was evaluated on its solid waste reduction and recycling, energy conservation, water conservation and pollution prevention.
Going the extra step, Armanino established a "green team," a group of employees to monitor and continually improve the firm's sustainable business practices. The team constantly looks for ways, both large and small, to reduce its carbon footprint. For example, the team distributed reusable water bottles to all employees, asking them to use and reuse them in lieu of paper cups and plastic bottles.
As a company with a vested interest in sustainable growth, continued environmental responsibility just makes sense.
