Economic Forecast: Accounting industry to see more adaptation to change in year ahead

Company: Mauldin & Jenkins just celebrated its 100th anniversary, and Alison Wester, a partner at Mauldin & Jenkins’ Bradenton office, says the firm is looking forward to the next 100 years. “We’re always looking to expand into new markets,” she says. The Atlanta-based company recently completed mergers in Savannah, Ga., and Columbia, S.C.

The firm now has eight offices, with its Bradenton location being its only Florida office. That location, Wester says, serves clients statewide.
