Bruce G. Jones
Bruce is only the third managing partner in Porte Brown’s history. He directs the firm, ensuring that it leverages best practices to identify and meet client needs.
Bruce builds on the core values of the firm’s founders: to help others, to earn the loyalty of clients, to establish processes and procedures to function efficiently and develop the best talent. In addition, Bruce is Porte Brown’s Professional Services Practice Group leader.
"We’re proud of our culture of teamwork and encourage each team member to develop his or her areas of expertise – and make their career at Porte Brown," said Bruce. "Porte Brown people, processes and our track record of producing 99% of tax returns on time make us a one-of-a-kind firm."
Professional Experience
Bruce worked for three Fortune 500 firms before he turned 21. During that time, he learned about the importance of goal-setting and what it takes to run a successful business -- just some of the reasons why Tom Porte offered him his first position at Porte Brown: staff accountant. Bruce became a partner in 1993 and managing partner in 2003.
