Rewind to Vitamin's collaboration with client Ellin & Tucker to reimagine and relaunch the careers section for the CPA firm's website.

Vitamin's goal was to highlight Ellin & Tucker's distinctive culture, devotion to employee individuality, and professional development while using the section to celebrate a passion for community support and volunteerism. Our approach was to not only appeal to tenured accounting experts, but also young applicants who are eager to join a firm that’s as committed to its employees and the community, as it is to its clients.

Prospective employees immediately see what it would be like to be part of something bigger, with an accounting firm that focuses on something more than just the numbers.
