Julio Gonzalez, Founder and CEO of Engineered Tax Services, was honored at the Hispanic Heritage Gala with the prestigious Hispanic Leadership Award, celebrating his leadership, impact, and dedication to empowering communities and entrepreneurs.

Standing on stage, Gonzalez reflected on his journey with gratitude — for his parents who made sacrifices, for the opportunities the United States has provided, and for the challenges that shaped his path. He emphasized that true leadership isn’t about titles or accolades. It’s about creating impact, lifting others as you climb, and opening doors where none existed.

“Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about impact. It’s about creating opportunity where none existed before,” said Gonzalez during his acceptance speech.

A proud Hispanic entrepreneur, Gonzalez has spent his career ensuring that small businesses and communities can access the same strategies and incentives traditionally reserved for large corporations. His books, Why Billionaires Love the Tax Code and his newest, The Grant Equality Blueprint: How Every Community, Business & Municipality Can Access the Capital, provide practical guidance for accessing capital, grants, and funding programs that often go overlooked.

The Grant Equality Blueprint outlines actionable strategies, including:

• Identifying underutilized federal and state funding programs
• Structuring municipal and community projects to qualify for available incentives
• Helping small and mid-sized businesses compete for funding normally captured by larger players
• Building repeatable, compliant frameworks for sustainable access to capital

“Your background is not a limitation. It is your power,” Gonzalez said, addressing the next generation of Hispanic entrepreneurs.

The Hispanic Leadership Award is a recognition of Gonzalez’s ongoing work to level the playing field in business and finance. Beyond running a successful firm, he has dedicated himself to mentorship, representation, and ensuring that opportunity is accessible to all.

The Grant Equality Blueprint is available now on Amazon: The Grant Equality Blueprint
