    Atlanta, GA – Frazier & Deeter, one of the largest public accounting and advisory firms in the United States, announced today the expansion of its services via the acquisition of boutique consulting firm Arch + Tower. Arch + Tower offers a variety of consulting services focused on Customer Experience, Employee Experience, and Operational Excellence.

    “Expanding our advisory services to encompass customer experience and employee experience builds on our reputation for investing in relationships with our clients and our people,” noted Seth McDaniel, Managing Partner of Frazier & Deeter. “Frazier & Deeter is known for exceptional client satisfaction and our innovative approach to developing our people, and now we will be able to help our clients achieve their goals in these critical areas.”

    Arch + Tower will continue to operate under the same name, which is inspired by the idea that arches span gaps and carry weight, and towers elevate people to see farther. A sample of the services they provide include strategic executive advisement, customer experience training, organizational development clarity, selection and hiring processes, project and process management and user experience design.

    “We are excited to bring a unique and high-impact set of services to our clients,” noted McDaniel. “We have found in our own growth that focusing on employee experience drives client experience and because of that we found Arch + Tower’s service offering intriguing as a new service for our clients.”

    “Becoming part of Frazier & Deeter provides a multi-national platform for growth as we work with the firm’s clients across the US and the UK to help them achieve their goals,” said Hightower. “Frazier & Deeter’s sustained exceptional growth over the past 10 years illustrates the impact that attention to employee experience, customer experience and operational excellence can have on a company’s results.”
