Get To Know Jonathan

Why did you choose to work at Kevil & Kevil? 

I was inspired to join Kevil & Kevil because they are a 2nd Generation Cost Seg Provider Family with broad acumen in expertise in Tax Centric Engineered based Professional Services.

What is your favorite aspect of your job?

Knowing that I've gained the client's trust and confidence after providing them with exemplary service.

What's your work style?

Hands-on.

​

What "bright idea" do you find yourself sharing over and over again?

If a client is over 60 years old and are long-time holders of commercial real estate, they need to make conducting a cost segregation study their biggest priority. If this doesn't happen, when they pass, a step-up basis will have to take place and you'll have to start the entire process over again.

​

What do you consider to be your best quality?

I never give up and I'm incredibly loyal.

What gets you out of bed every day?

A burning desire to serve our clients.

What was your first job?

Working for my family's grocery store at the age of five.
