Sensiba San Filippo Earns “Best of Show” and Two Category Wins at National Marketing Achievement Awards

SAN JOSE, CALIF. June 16, 2009 – Sensiba San Filippo LLP (SSF), a Northern California leader in audit, tax and business consulting, announced today that the firm’s Marketing team has earned the 2009 “Best of Show” and two category wins at the Association for Accounting Marketing’s (AAM) annual Marketing Achievement Awards.

The Association for Accounting Marketing (AAM) is the public accounting industry’s largest and most recognized marketing organization.  AAM is the only association in the U.S. formed specifically to address the growing marketing needs of public accounting firms.  In the 2009 competition, a panel of judges, including professionals in advertising, consulting, professional services and marketing, judged 228 entries in 20 different categories. Accounting firms from all over the United States and Canada competed in two divisions — under and over $15 million in revenues, with Sensiba San Filippo competing in the over $15 million division.

Sensiba San Filippo received three awards in their division, for the following:

Best Survey/Research:  for SSF’s industry-leading non-profit industry compensation study;

Printed Collateral:  for SSF’s estate and trust planning guide (electronic copy available here, hard copy available upon request to sreid@ssfllp.com);

Best in Show:  for SSF’s estate and trust planning guide submitted in the Printed Collateral category.

“The awards confirm SSF’s approach of providing relevant, usable content in plain English and in a manner that allows clients to action on what we’re sharing,” said Karen Yang, SSF’s Marketing Director.  “It’s not always about saying what we think is important, it’s also knowing what our clients’ priorities are.”

John Sensiba, Managing Partner, added “the external confirmation about what we think is a unique approach to ‘collateral’ is gratifying. Ultimately, this is a selfish exercise, as we believe that the more our clients know, the more productive and fun our relationship with them becomes.”

Sensiba San Filippo is an integrated service public accounting and consulting firm that brings actionable business solutions to its clients through its unique brand of service, industry-specific knowledge, technical expertise and its SSF Knowledge Series publications and classes.  Key industries of specialization include construction and real estate development, venture-backed technology, agribusiness, charitable organizations and private foundations, manufacturing and venture capital.  14 partners and over 90 employees deliver SSF’s knowledge-based services to clients throughout the greater Bay Area.
