Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC

What Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC does

Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC is a partner-owned certified public accounting firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 1920. The firm delivers professional services across three practice areas: Tax Services (planning, compliance, controversy resolution, international taxation, estate and trust, and Employee Retention Credit services under the CARES Act), Assurance Services (financial statement audits, attestation, HUD audits, retirement plan audits, Single Audits under Uniform Guidance, and SOC reporting), and Consulting & Advisory Services (business valuation, M&A advisory, succession and transaction advisory, governmental advisory, technology services, cybersecurity, and outsourced CFO capabilities including the CFO Navigator product). Service delivery is supported by MindBridge Ai Auditor, an AI tool that scans 100% of client transactions to surface risk-based anomalies during audits, making the firm one of the earliest adopters of this technology in the Southeast U.S.

The firm serves clients across the U.S. Southeast and beyond, with 19 offices spanning Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas following the December 2025 merger with LaPorte CPAs & Business Advisors and the January 2026 merger with The Prinzo Group. Customer segments include healthcare organizations, financial institutions, government and public-sector entities, HUD-assisted housing operators, manufacturing and agribusiness companies, nonprofit organizations, closely held businesses and entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals and families. Vertical expertise is concentrated in regulated and complex environments (healthcare reimbursement, bank compliance, HUD multifamily, single audits) where specialized credentialing and long-tenured relationships are decisive selection criteria.

The business model is engagement-based professional services pricing with quote-driven fees determined by scope and complexity; no standard rate cards are publicly disclosed, and contract cadences range from episodic projects to multi-year relationships typical of audit and outsourced CFO engagements. Customer acquisition is sales-led and relies on partner-led relationships, professional referrals, and industry reputation rather than performance marketing. The combined entity operated at $156.2 million in annual revenue with 747 staff and 124 partners as of January 2026, placing the firm at No. 65 on Accounting Today's 2025 Top 75 list. The firm is structured as Mauldin & Jenkins and Subsidiaries, LLC, with a separate PLLC entity for North Carolina operations; it is independent and partner-owned, with no disclosed parent company, private equity sponsor, or external institutional investor.
