Bradenton, December 17, 2025- Professionals from Mauldin & Jenkins, a leading assurance, tax, and advisory firm, participated in the Manatee Chamber of Commerce’s “Big Bank Theory”. This interactive financial literacy program is designed to equip high school seniors with the skills needed for real-world financial decision-making.
Employees led the bank station and guided students through real-world budgeting decisions by assisting them in opening checking or savings accounts, comparing minimum balance requirements, and exploring 401(k) and educational accounts. This hands-on experience strengthens students’ understanding of money management and reinforces the importance of making informed financial decisions.
Associate, River Yang, stated, “I look forward to participating in Big Bank Theory each year because it gives high school seniors a valuable, hands-on introduction to personal finance through a fun game. It’s rewarding to see how much students learn as they navigate financial responsibilities.”
