Forvis Mazars LLP, one of the largest public accounting and consulting firms in the United States, is proud to announce that Jennifer Jones, principal and national practice leader of the SOC & HITRUST practice, and Chad Mulvany, director in the firm’s Healthcare Consulting practice, have been named to Consulting Magazine’s Top Consultants list. The program recognizes outstanding consultants across the profession who demonstrate knowledge, deliver measurable client impact, and advance the standards of the consulting industry.
Jones earned this recognition in the Cybersecurity & Risk Technology category. As national practice leader of the firm’s SOC & HITRUST practice, she brings more than 22 years of experience helping organizations across healthcare, financial services, insurance, and technology manage third-party risk and compliance demands. Jones is known for her ability to simplify complex assurance programs—designing unified, scalable frameworks that help reduce compliance burden while strengthening an organization’s credibility with its user organizations.
“Jennifer consistently demonstrates an uncommon ability to translate complex regulatory and assurance requirements into practical, repeatable solutions,” said Bryan Callahan, managing partner of risk advisory at Forvis Mazars. “Her leadership within the SOC & HITRUST practice has materially elevated how we deliver services, and clients trust her to reinforce confidence in their programs and credibility in the market.”
Mulvany earned this recognition in the Thought Leadership & Intellectual Capital category. With 24 years of experience advising hospital and health system executives on federal regulatory and legislative developments, he has built one of the most recognized thought leadership platforms in healthcare policy—spanning the “Achieving Health” podcast, the “Regulatory Insights” newsletter, and a widely attended webinar series. A Fellow of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, Mulvany is known for translating complex CMS rules and federal legislation into clear, actionable guidance that helps healthcare organizations navigate an increasingly dynamic policy environment.
“Chad’s ability to quickly gather, digest, and disseminate late-breaking regulatory changes has been invaluable in helping our teams and clients across the firm deliver an Unmatched Client Experience,” said Brad Brotherton, partner and healthcare national sector leader at Forvis Mazars. “His thought leadership equips our professionals to lead with confidence and reinforces our practice’s credibility in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.”
