Armanino has been selected to the Microsoft Dynamics Inner Circle for 2013, the only CPA firm to make the list of top software resellers. It was an unusually weak showing by accounting firms that have software reselling and consulting operations.
Last year, the San Ramon-Calif.-based accounting firm was on the list along with McGladrey, Sikich and Wipfli. Microsoft says that the Inner Circle represents the top 1 percent of all software resellers.
Accounting firms and affiliates did make the next level of honors. In the President's Club this year are LBMC Technologies, McGladrey East Region, McGladrey Rocky Mountain and SVA Consulting. Armanino was also named to this group.
