Jeff Zellmer shared thisThis what I have been for 4 1/2 years. Love our clients and our teams that deliver for them!Jeff Zellmer shared thisWhy I’m Fired Up About What We’re Building at Armanino 🚀 Over the past few years, we’ve seen the pressure on internal teams skyrocket. Finance, tax, accounting, HR—everyone’s expected to do more, faster, and with greater precision. But here’s the truth.......You can’t scale performance by just working harder. You need to work smarter. That’s exactly what we’ve built at Armanino. 💡 What Makes Our Managed Services Different? We’re not just outsourcing tasks—we’re delivering outcomes. Our AI-enabled Managed Services model combines people, process, and technology to own entire functions for our clients—from accounting and finance to tax and HR. Instead of scrambling to hire internally (and replace/rehire) or manage multiple vendors, our clients plug into a best-in-class department that scales with their business. 📊 Real Results: From Tasks to Transformation One of my favorite examples is a fast-growing manufacturer that partnered with us for full accounting support. The outcome? ✔️ Faster, more accurate reporting ✔️ Real-time financial visibility ✔️ More time for leadership to focus on growth ✔️ And most importantly—peace of mind “We weren’t just outsourcing—we were upgrading our capabilities.” 🧠 What We Deliver Across the Board ✅ Tax Managed Services - An extension of your team with predictable pricing (no surprises) - Year-round access to seasoned tax advisors - Proactive planning at local, state & global levels - Automated workflows for speed & accuracy ✅ Finance, Accounting & HR - Month-end close, payroll, forecasting, budgeting - Scalable talent support - Strategic reporting and insight delivery ✅ Built-in Automation & AI - Less manual work, fewer errors - Cloud-based visibility into operations - More agility in decision-making 🎯 The Outcome? Confidence and Focus. When we take the back-office burden off our clients’ shoulders, they’re not just saving time or money—they’re gaining peace of mind. And that peace of mind gives CFOs and executive teams the space to do what they do best: Lead, grow, and scale. If you’re ready to shift from fire drills to focus, let’s talk. Our team is ready to make that happen today. #ManagedServices #CFO #TaxTransformation #AccountingInnovation #FinanceTransformation #AI #Automation #HRTech #PeaceOfMind #Leadership #Armanino #positiveimpact Armanino Dean Reema John Alexis Matt Neely

Jeff Zellmer liked thisJeff Zellmer liked thisNot getting your first choice can be the best thing that ever happened to you. I've been thinking about this since jogging past a shiny, vintage VW Cabriolet last weekend when I was out of town with my husband. I had to stop and take a photo of it because it brought back such strong memories for me. When I was a teenager, that was the car I wanted (preferably in white). My parents didn’t see its charms. A convertible made zero sense for a girl living in snowy Massachusetts. They handed me the keys to a sensible Nissan Maxima. (I knew I was lucky to have a car at all. But that didn't make it feel less disappointing.) That car took me on several long road trips, never failed me on errands, and reliably shuttled me and my pals to countless events. The car wasn't the real lesson. That came later, early in my career, after law school, when I was at Bain. I loved the work, I was good at it, and I had every intention of making partner. When I was told that wasn't going to happen, I felt like I’d had the air kicked out of me. It was one of the most difficult moments of my professional life. And one of the most clarifying. Instead of crushing me, it sent me on a genuine soul-searching journey—the kind you can only take when the path you assumed was yours suddenly closes. What I found on the other side, after about 150 conversations with people in all kinds of professions, was the career I was actually meant to have. Executive search. Work that combines everything I love: people, strategy, relationships, and the belief that great leadership changes everything. I would never have found it if I'd gotten what I thought I wanted. It's college admissions season, which means a lot of people are sitting with disappointment right now. (I know how it feels. I got rejected from my first-choice school.) To them—and to anyone who just didn't get the role, the promotion, or the “yes” they were counting on—here’s what I have to say: Let it fuel you, not define you. Your second choice might be leading you somewhere your first choice never could. From where I sit now, I know I went to the best school for me. And for what it's worth, when I turned 30, I bought myself an even better convertible. 😊 What "no" turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to you? #tothetop

Jeff Zellmer liked thisJeff Zellmer liked thisThis Growth Director walked away from $240K. He had a mortgage, two kids, and bills to pay. But he chose $185K instead, here's his math. He wasn’t naïve about money. He had a mortgage to pay and two kids to take care of… A very clear sense of what his experience was worth. But when I asked why he’d take the cut, he didn’t hesitate: The $240K role required four days a week in the office… In a city two hours from where his family lived. He’d done that commute before. Two years of it. And described that period simply as “the years I missed.” The $185K role was fully remote. Leadership measured outcomes instead of looking at attendance. They had a product he believed in. And offered him the freedom to be present for his kids. In a way the other role structurally wouldn’t allow. The commute alone for the higher-paying role would cost him roughly $18K a year in travel and lost time. Relocation or split-living would cost more… Financially and emotionally. So that $55K gap started shrinking fast. Because income and compensation aren’t the same thing. Top growth marketers are increasingly making this calculation. They’ve already chased the higher salary… They know what it costs on the other side. Instead, now, they’re comparing trade-offs. Time. Autonomy. Energy. Presence. If strong candidates keep choosing elsewhere, it’s not always because someone paid more. Sometimes it’s because someone asked for less of their life.

Jeff Zellmer liked thisJeff Zellmer liked thisI have accepted the role of Growth Director at RSM US LLP and am looking forward to the new chapter in my professional career. I am refreshed, energized and ready to take on new challenges. After an amazing 12-year career at BDO, and my first role in Business Development, it was time to take a break and try something new. I took 3 months off and spent most of it with my 80+ year-old parents in Kenya, where I grew up. I was there with and for my parents with no other responsibility except for being with them and hosting a party to celebrate my parents, with 350 of their friends and relatives. It was a special time, too, to be there with both of my siblings. I highly recommend spending focused time with parents and showering them with lots of love. It is one of the best things I have done in a very long time. I am truly grateful to BDO and especially Brian Minnihan and Nicole Ward for taking a chance on a finance guy to become a sales guy. That gamble paid off, resulting in the last 10 years being on top of the sales leader board across the firm. I am forever grateful! My sincere gratitude to RSM for moving at lightning speed to create a new role for me with a promise to support and experiment with my ideas. It is a testament to the great culture that exists at RSM, a leading provider of audit, tax, and consulting services focused on the mid-market. I am excited to be working with amazing leaders like Rod Reimann, Bryan Szilagyi and Ahmad Ejaz. I am rested, refreshed and ready to put my energy into doing what I love - fostering relationships and helping people succeed. It aligns with the RSM purpose to “Instill confidence in a world of change.”
