The Armanino McKenna staff is a pleasure to work with before, during and after the audit.”

Communication with the audit team was excellent, and the pre-audit planning and on-site processes resulted in an efficient and timely completion of the audit. Prior to Armanino McKenna, I often felt like we were paying to train the auditors, but now I feel like we’re getting real value for the dollar. I am very pleased with our selection of Armanino McKenna.”
