/ Case study · ACHR

ACHR was up to date with the law.
Now it looks it.

For 15 years, ACHR has given entrepreneurs in Bucharest and Ilfov accounting, payroll, financial consulting and HR. We repositioned the company around clarity and financial peace of mind, and on that idea we built the rebranding, the design, the new website and the conversion logic of its pages.

For the attention analysis, we applied the same residual spectral saliency method (Hou & Zhang) to the 1440×820 px first screen of both versions, which showed the same message. It is an algorithmic analysis of visual contrast, without eye-tracking. Screenshots taken on 16 October 2026.

/ The starting point

A website that looked outdated,
a company that was up to date.

„Site-ul pare învechit și noi păream că nu suntem la zi cu legislația.”

“The website looks outdated, and we looked like we were not up to date with the legislation.”

Mihai Stanca · CDO & Partner, ACHR

ACHR already had 15 years of activity and more than 300 satisfied clients, two things that matter for an accounting company. The image said something else, though. The colors and the logo had no connection to the three services, and the styles and icons changed from one section to the next.

/ 01 · Repositioning

The message came from the words
of the founders.

We started from what the two founders want for their clients, then analysed the company's data before writing the message.

Method

The Why / What / How questionnaire completed with both founders, an analysis of ten years of invoicing and of the clients who matter most to the company, the brand audit and the competitor study.

Insight

Entrepreneurs look to their accountant for clarity, peace of mind and a partner they can trust, alongside correct numbers.

Decision

The central attribute of the brand is Clarity, and the values are Ethics, Integrity and Clarity. From the words of the two founders came the message „Claritate și liniște financiară” (“Financial clarity and peace of mind”).

The message first reached the old site, on the first screen. The design buried the message, though: the headline was marked up as a secondary heading, the page had no main heading at all, and the headline drew only 7% of the first screen's attention. The rebrand and the new website put the message front and centre.

Page headline on the old siteMain headline on the new site
„Contabilitate ACHR”“ACHR Accounting”„Contabilitatea nu ar trebui să-ți dea bătăi de cap.”“Accounting shouldn't give you a headache.”It starts from the entrepreneur's wish to put in less effort.
„Salarizare”“Payroll”„Externalizează salarizarea. Câștigă timp, claritate și siguranță.”“Outsource your payroll. Gain time, clarity and security.”It promises the entrepreneur who outsources exactly what they look for, namely time, clarity and security.
„Impozite și taxe”“Taxes and duties”„Impozitele nu trebuie să te sperie. Trebuie doar să fie înțelese.”“Taxes should not scare you. They only need to be understood.”It addresses the fear of taxes and the need to understand them.
„Consultanță financiar㔓Financial consulting”„Consultanță financiară clară, umană și fără complicații.”“Financial consulting that is clear, human and uncomplicated.”It puts the brand's promise, clarity, in the headline.
„Asistență pentru începerea unei afaceri”“Assistance for starting a business”„Începe-ți afacerea cu claritate, nu cu întrebări.”“Start your business with clarity instead of questions.”It speaks to the entrepreneur who is just starting out and has many questions.
„Vă putem ajuta să vă întocmim și să analizăm CASH FLOW-ul afacerii dumneavoastr㔓We can help you prepare and analyse your business's CASH FLOW”„Cash Flow-ul Îți Spune Adevărul. Îți Arată Cât de Sănătoasă Este Firma Ta.”“Cash Flow Tells You the Truth. It Shows You How Healthy Your Company Is.”It gives the entrepreneur the real picture of the company's money.
„Înregistrare contabilitate SAGA”“SAGA accounting registration”„Folosești SAGA? Noi ne ocupăm de restul.”“Using SAGA? We take care of the rest.”Speaks directly to entrepreneurs who already use SAGA.

The new headlines are the ones we wrote in April 2025 and published on achr.ro. The old headlines are the ones from the old site, captured on 16 October 2026. The English lines are translations of the Romanian originals.

/ 02 · Rebranding

One symbol for
the three services.

The old identity used colors and a logo with no link to the company's three services, and the styles and icons changed from one section to the next, with no common system. The new identity starts from the A+ symbol. The open square ties the three services into a single system, and the plus sign stands for added value. The symbol stays legible from the favicon to the sign on the building.

Everything went into a 33-page brand book, so that the client and any future supplier can use the same system.

/ 03 · Design

The same brand,
on every surface.

The identity shows on every surface of the company. The same system appears on the website, the business cards, the leaflet and the envelope, in the 10 email signatures and on the social media covers. The communication system completes the identity through ads and video scripts that carry the same message, and photos of relaxed people show financial peace of mind.

The website, page by page.

The new site was simplified by removing seven old pages, among them the monthly promotion, e-invoicing and the newsletter, and the services are now grouped in a single menu. The homepage has a header with 8 elements instead of 18, the A+ identity appears everywhere, the message sits in the foreground, and client logos appear right below the main image.

About us
Before

Now
The new ACHR “About us” page, with the founder, the company's numbers and airy text

The founder appears with a face and a voice, the company's numbers (15 years, more than 300 clients) are in plain sight, and the text has a clear hierarchy. Before, the text was dense, the benefits sat in two long checklists, and the values hid in columns of small print.

Contact
Before
The old ACHR contact page, with the map on the first screen
Now
The new ACHR contact page, with the form ahead of the map

The form comes before the map, and the page promises an answer within 24 hours. The message is warm and addresses the reader directly: „Suntem fericiți să-ți răspundem cerințelor afacerii tale!” (“We are happy to answer the needs of your business!”). Before, the map filled the first screen and the form was a standard one, with no context.

The first screen, with attention
on the message.

We compared the first screen of the old website with that of the new one. Both showed the same message. On the old site, attention went to the header and the decor. On the new one, the headline receives three times more attention, and the header almost disappears from the attention map.

The logic, written before the design

01

A single action

The brief for the service pages, written in March 2025, set the free consultation as the single main action on all pages.

02

Trust, placed strategically

Client logos sit right below the main image, and testimonials follow them, on the homepage and on every service page.

03

Objections, resolved on the page

Each service page has a FAQ section that answers the client's objections, and short calls to action along the page.

04

A short form and a promised answer

The form asks only for contact details, the company's tax ID (CUI) and the message, and the page promises a reply within 24 hours.

/ Why it matters to you

ACHR is an accounting company, yet this happens whenever a company works well and is seen less than it deserves. Mihai Stanca put it this way, saying that the site looked outdated and the company looked behind on the legislation.

The differentiator often already exists inside the company. We find it, turn it into a message and build the system through which the message reaches the client, from brand and website to every piece of communication.
