Brian R. Jones CPA, LLC
Clarity for business owners
Forty years of finding out what’s really going on.
Our firm is led by Brian Jones, CPA, CFE — a Certified Fraud Examiner, licensed as a CPA in Louisiana and Texas, formerly an audit senior manager with KPMG, and formerly President, Treasurer and Director of a NYSE-listed company. Forty years across audit, corporate finance, and operations.
Audit training is why this works. The job was to understand a business, its processes, and where the structure would fail. We apply that to fixing a business rather than reporting on it.
We work as a team. Engagements are staffed by people who have done this work before — that’s what lets us diagnose quickly and repair without disrupting your operation.
What we do
Diagnose, repair, and improve financial systems, processes, and controls. Fractional controller engagements, controls and fraud-risk work, inventory, and reporting improvement are the same work arriving through different doors.
What we don’t do
Bookkeeping. Ongoing accounting. Staffing. Advisory where you hand us a task list to execute. We’re brought in for a defined problem, and when it’s solved we stand down.
That’s not the end of the relationship. Clients call when something changes, breaks, or grows past what’s in place. Long relationships, defined engagements.
Where a business genuinely needs the function performed for a period — an early-stage company that cannot yet justify a full-time hire, or a business in transition — we will do the work on an interim basis, with a defined end in mind.
Tax preparation is available to clients we already work with. It’s a normal add-on, not a service we pursue on its own.
Management remains responsible for all decisions.
