“Steegle’s team truly understood our vision and surpassed what we imagined.” – Kelsie Deiter
Elevating Internal Communication for Business Experts
Mauldin & Jenkins (M&J) is a top-tier accounting firm renowned for its forward-thinking services in tax, assurance, and advisory sectors. Employing over 500 skilled professionals, M&J serves a diverse clientele across the Southeast and beyond. With accolades like being named a Top 100 Accounting Firm by Accounting Today and Inside Public Accounting, M&J has solidified its status as an industry leader.
Challenges
M&J had been relying on an in-house Google Sites intranet developed internally for several years. Despite its initial utility, the system began to show its limitations, especially given the constraints of Google Sites. The platform’s lack of out-of-the-box permission features led to a fragmented intranet, divided into multiple sub-sites, thereby complicating navigation. The dated design of the intranet also failed to represent the firm’s dynamic ethos. Additionally, there was a need for a more efficient way to manage evolving internal knowledge, such as employee directories and company handbooks.
Solution
Kelsie Deiter, the HR & Marketing Partner at M&J, spearheaded the initiative to modernize the intranet. She collaborated with key internal stakeholders to adopt Steegle’s Google Sites Refresh Service, supplemented by Steegle.One Tools. This approach allowed the firm to enhance user experience without resorting to an expensive new system, saving both time and resources. The existing infrastructure was repurposed and improved, serving as a foundation for the revamped platform.
Key Deliverables
Strategic Advice: Steegle offered invaluable guidance on optimizing page layouts and enhancing navigation to improve user experience.
Modern Design Overhaul: Steegle’s team fully revamped M&J’s intranet while retaining its core functionality, infusing new life into its design.

Conclusion
The transformation of Mauldin & Jenkins’ intranet demonstrates how innovative technology solutions, paired with expert guidance, can redefine internal communication and data management.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Many firms build their first intranet in-house and it serves well enough initially. Mauldin & Jenkins, a top-100 accounting firm with over 500 professionals across the Southeast, did exactly that. But over time the limitations became clear — fragmented navigation across multiple sub-sites, a dated design that didn't represent the firm's professional ethos, and no efficient way to manage an evolving employee directory or company handbooks.
-
Through the Google Sites Refresh Service. Rather than starting from scratch, Steegle repurposed and enhanced what M&J already had — saving significant time and cost while delivering a completely transformed experience. Kelsie Deiter described the outcome as exceeding expectations: not only aesthetically revitalised but genuinely more functional and efficient.
-
For a firm like M&J — named a Top 100 Accounting Firm by Accounting Today — the internal environment needs to reflect the same professionalism projected externally. Steegle created custom graphics aligned to M&J's brand identity and overhauled the design. Senior IT Manager Susan Boucher described Steegle's strategic insights as standing out from previous experiences.
-
Professional services firms need precise control over document versions, access permissions, and compliance materials. Steegle.One integrates with Google Workspace's native permissions and file management. Staff at M&J are now fully independent in updating and maintaining the platform.
-
Full control. One of the key deliverables was a seamless handover — Steegle transferred complete ownership of the updated site to M&J so their team could manage future updates independently. The tools and training to maintain it were part of the engagement, not an afterthought.
-
Yes. If an accounting firm needs a custom ticketing workflow, an automated onboarding system, a CRM-style tool for client relationships, or a compliance reporting dashboard — all of that can be built inside Google Workspace using AppSheet or Apps Script.
-
Accounting firms hold large volumes of policy, procedure, client guidance, and compliance documentation. AI tools like Gemini can help staff find the right information quickly — critical during busy tax or audit seasons — but only when that content is well-organised and current.
