We’ve been told that the firm is just the right size—not so large that you are just a number, and not so small you don’t have access to lots of resources, and a voice at the table should you want one. By last count, our people speak 26 different languages. And we all look forward to our annual Thanksgiving meal, where many of our people bring snacks, sides and main dishes from their native country. Naan stuffing, anyone?

Founded more than thirty years ago, McConnell Jones has since grown to one of the largest regional CPA firms in the southwest and the second largest African American owned firm in the US. As we continue to expand our practice, you’ll have access to opportunities to build your career and broaden your experience. And for a firm our size, you will be surprised about the large clients we serve, and the spectrum of experience you will garner.

In addition to technical training, the firm conducts all-firm and small group discussions on topics related to our values of Creativity, Inclusion, Transparency and Accountability. These are deep, meaningful, and often quite personal discussions about work, life and family—and optional if anyone is uncomfortable with such discussions. The first book in the series was Deepak Chopra’s The Soul of Leadership, which we studied over four sessions. We believe that our values are not something we merely display on the walls of our office, but in the way we treat each other, our clients and our communities every day.

We strive each day to consider that behind every digit, are the clients we serve, and the lives they impact. And that unique perspective is what McConnell Jones strives to bring to each interaction with each other, our clients, and our community.
