Armanino has expanded its human capital management capabilities by welcoming Step Up Consulting, a Los Angeles-based IT consulting firm focused on UKG Ready implementations and HR system optimization, into its team. This strategic move enhances Armanino's ability to deliver comprehensive HCM solutions that help organizations streamline HR, payroll and workforce management operations.
Step Up Consulting brings deep expertise in the UKG Ready platform, a workforce operating system that unifies HR, benefits, payroll, talent, time and scheduling in a single solution enabling Armanino to serve small and mid-sized organizations with flexible, scalable human capital technology support.
According to Armanino's leadership, the addition strengthens the firm's HCM technology practice by combining Step Up's technical proficiency with Armanino's broad consulting, advisory and accounting ecosystem. Together, they will help clients better connect their people, payroll and finance data to drive smarter business decisions and more efficient workforce processes.
As part of the integration, Step Up's CEO, Christine Ferns, will lead Armanino's newly established UKG practice, which consolidates UKG Ready implementation, optimization and managed services under a unified strategy aimed at delivering outcome-driven results for clients.
Step Up Consulting's client-first approach and proven track record in automating HR and payroll workflows aligns with Armanino's broader goal of offering end-to-end tech-enabled solutions that reduce administrative complexity and improve operational efficiency. This alignment supports organizations in navigating evolving workforce demands and market challenges.
Industry observers note that expanding HCM service capabilities is increasingly important as organizations look to adopt integrated systems that unify HR, payroll, benefits and workforce analytics trends that are being accelerated by the growing role of AI and data-driven decision-making in human capital management.
The combination of Armanino's extensive consulting resources and Step Up's specialized HCM expertise aims to deliver agile, scalable solutions that enable clients to optimize HR operations, sharpen workforce strategies and support business growth across industries.
