There is lots of excitement at SB Partners LLP, the Burlington accounting firm where Mike Kee has just been named Partner.
“Being relevant is a critical factor in maintaining marketplace competitiveness,” commented John Chisholm, SB Partner’s CEO. “Being relevant to business and the owners, to current issues and opportunities, to the accounting profession and to innovation – that’s where Mike Kee, one of our next generation Partners is so important to the life blood of our firm. Being relevant means we can add value. And isn’t that why clients seek out resources?
“We knew 15 years ago when we hired Mike as an intern, he would be a sensation. In recognition of his contribution to the ongoing growth of SB Partners, we are pleased to have him as a Partner,” added Joseph Schlett, Partner and Chair of the Board at SB Partners.
