SAN RAMON, Calif., May 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Armanino LLP, one of the top 25 largest accounting and business consulting firms in the U.S., today announced it is closing its offices for the day so that employees can volunteer for more than 45 projects across the country as part of the 10th annual Great Give. The yearly community service event teams up firm staff and partners with nonprofits for a variety of daylong philanthropic projects that serve communities where employees live and work. This year, Armanino is set to donate 4,000 hours of community service during the Great Give.

“The Great Give is one of the most special days of the year at our firm, as it empowers our people to connect with special causes and charitable organizations that are most meaningful to them,” said Andy Armanino, managing partner of Armanino LLP. “For nearly a decade, it has been our privilege to offer our time, talents and energy to give back to our communities.”

The Great Give is a firm-wide event that has grown steadily over the years since first launching in 2009. It is part of the firm’s service initiative, Helping Hand, a collection of giving efforts that include the Armanino Foundation, 30 by 30 year-round service projects, and company-sponsored volunteer vacations across the country.
