James E. Kinsey: On Mentors
My mentor in life was a social worker named Anita Hoolaway.

President/CEO, James E Kinsey CPA PC
She was special to me because she took a genuine interest in my well being. She made sure that I got into the classes that would assure me entrance into college and provided me with the help that I needed due to my visual impairment. Even after I enrolled in college, she continued to follow my progress and assisted me with obtaining financial support. She believed in me which gave me the confidence to seek a career change from business management to accounting which led to my obtaining the CPA licensure.
Over the years, I have provided internships to aspiring accountants whenever the opportunity presented. I provided this assistance because someone showed an interest in me beyond what was required.
