McKenzie, who still lives in Parsons where he was raised, was named a partner in 2013. Clenney, who was raised in Milan, became a partner in 2018.
The firm has been active in the Chamber and the Jackson community for many years. Steele, for example, helped the Chamber create its Business of the Year awards. Steele Martin Jones has won three of those awards: Small Business of the Year, Cornerstone Business of the Year and a Pinnacle Award.
Besides its accounting expertise, Steele Martin Jones considers itself unique when compared to other CPA firms, Jones said. “We’re the CPA firm that talks to our clients. We work with our clients all year long to help their business grow, make good financial choices and optimize their tax commitment.”
