James Krupienski, Partner, Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C.: Leading by Example

When James Krupienski was named to BusinessWest’s 40 Under Forty class of 2010, he was CPA manager for the Health Care and Pension Audit Divisions at Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C. (MBK). Now, he’s one of six partners who together manage all operations at the firm. But it takes much more than a change in title to be named Alumni Achievement Award winner, as James was earlier this month. That prestigious honor reflects how much an individual has accomplished since joining the 40 Under Forty club, and James has excelled not just at his job, but as a mentor to many young people entering the accounting field, and as someone who gives back to the community in many ways, both through his own volunteerism and the way he encourages the firm to support local causes. On the next episode of BusinessTalk, James talks with BusinessWest contributing writer George O’Brien about all of that, and why it’s so gratifying. It’s must listening, so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest over both audio and video platforms, and sponsored by Greenfield Cooperative Bank.
