BRADENTON, November 8– Leading assurance, tax and advisory firm, Mauldin & Jenkins, is proud to announce Manager Jacob Kinsel, CPA, has been recognized as a winner of Business Observer’s 40 Under 40 award for 2024.
Each year, the Business Observer selects 40 individuals under the age of 40 from the Gulf Coast business community. These individuals are chosen based on nominations and original reporting, representing the best and brightest from Tampa to Naples.
