The Best Accounting Firm Rebrand Process
The Award-Winning RemarkabrandTM Brand Identity Process for Accounting Firms
Clients don’t buy what you do.
They invest in why you do it.
That's why we help accounting firms grow their roots in their brand identity so they can tell their authentic story, telling the world not just what they do, but also the "why" behind everything that happens in their firm.
Your brand is more than your logo.
- It’s your why – the reason you got started and keep going.
- It’s your brand beliefs – the guideposts for tough decisions.
- It’s the personality that sets you apart from your competition.
- It’s the foundation for a thriving culture, both internally and externally.
“Working with Resound on the firm rebrand was a great experience. They didn’t just want to give us a pretty logo, they wanted to understand the firm, industry and the perception the firm has with our clients, the community and our team members."
Jaimi Koechel, Principal at Henry + Horne
