Since 2009, Armanino has donated nearly 15,000 hours of time through the Great Give and expects to give another 3,000 hours of service this year. The yearly firm-wide community service event works with nonprofits to set up a variety of day-long philanthropic projects that serve the communities where employees live and work.
“The Great Give is one of the most popular events at the firm because it speaks to the values of our employees and the company,” said Andy Armanino, managing partner of Armanino LLP. “The nonprofit organizations we volunteer with make a difference in our work and living communities all year-round, and to be a part of their missions is a great honor for all of us.”
“I never miss the Great Give, it’s one of my favorite events,” said Tina Ennis, senior consultant in outsourced finance and accounting. “It’s one of my favorite events because I get to work with colleagues from different parts of the firm, and make lasting friendships while working together for a day to make a real impact for a worthy cause.”
