Jacksonville Business Journal honors Hunter & Associates P.A. with Diversity Award

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Business Journal has given Hunter & Associates P.A. a 2010 Diversity Award for its work as a Professional Service Provider  for minority-owned businesses in Northeast Florida.

Hunter & Associates was one of eight award winners and the only its category. Hunter & Associates provides accounting, business development and consulting services to small- and medium-sized businesses.

Hunter & Associates was honored for helping clients get certified as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, thereby generating business opportunities. The firm has extensive experience in auditing firms that work with government agencies, which often seek DBEs as contractors and consultants.

In a profile of the firm in the Aug. 6-12 issue of The Business Journal, client Nina Sickler, president of Landmark Engineering Inc., stated that the financial audit that Hunter & Associates conducted of her transportation-engineering company helped it earn a DBE certification with the Florida Department of Transportation. Sickler also stated that the firm helped her evaluate tax issues and manage expenses.

Because it works with numerous small businesses and DBEs, Hunter & Associates conducts many audits for the FDOT and often provides financial management training for the department’s contractors. Hunter & Associates also has contracted with the U.S. General Services Administration to provide accounting and development services to agencies and companies that work with them across the country.

“Government agencies and the contractors that work with them are focused on ways to maximize their time and minimize their expenses,” said Lewis Hunter, president of Hunter & Associates. “We help them find ways to do both.”
