RootWorks Launches National Search-Driven Website for Members

Next Generation Accounting Firms spotlighted on premier site — American Academy of Accounting and Tax Professionals (AAATP.com)

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 1, 2011 — RootWorks, the accounting profession's premier membership-based education organization, announced the launch of its member-exclusive, search-based national website for tax and accounting professionals.

The American Academy of Accounting and Tax Professionals website was developed to support RootWorks' members on a national level. The site highlights each member via a detailed bio, direct links to the firm's website, and niche-specific information. Content was developed to guide visitors on selecting an accounting professional, and also serves as another strong branding and marketing channel for members.

"We are always focused on providing our members with powerful resources to help them promote their Next Generation services. Our team worked for months to ensure that the AAATP site included detailed content on members and their firms, as well as powerful search tools for visitors seeking an accounting professional," said Darren Root, CEO, RootWorks. "The site has been exceptionally well-received by members."

On a rotating basis, the site highlights individual members based on such items as niche expertise, awards, or published work. The site also spotlights testimonials from firm clients — providing a personal appeal.

"The site is all about our members. We want to promote member firms through as many channels as possible," stated Root. "Our vision is that the AAATP website will evolve into the national online resource for locating an accounting professional and marketing our member firms."

AAATP.com was officially launched in May 2011. For more information, visit http://www.aaatp.com.
