Accounting
Responsibilities
Our client service teams are currently in busy season and will begin active interviewing after April 15
We welcome early interest from qualified candidates and will reach out once active hiring resumes
We are looking for a seasoned tax manager or a senior manager to join our business tax team
This particular practice focuses on closely held family groups and their individual owners
It's relationship heavy and never boring
If you think of yourself as a bit of a generalist that leans heavily towards flow through entities, but still understand the implications of how they flow through to a 1040, this could be your thing
Our tax and audit teams may be spread across the country, but they work together seamlessly and successfully - and unlike many of our competitors, we have not had an RTO mandate
That said, we would love for this position to be situated locally to the Portland or Seattle market - you are working with local business leaders, after all, and we will prioritize those candidates
Interested in moving to Portland? That works too - and we will help cover the cost
A culture where flexibility and balance add up to success
At Perkins, our leadership team know that public accounting is a demanding profession and is committed to a people-first culture that respects your time, values your contributions, and supports a sustainable career
We believe that when you're set up for success, we all win
That's why our expectations are both clear and reasonable: full-time managers have a target of 1,375 charge hours and senior managers have a target of 1,350 charge hours (2,300 total hours annually), giving you the structure you need without the burnout
During peak season, you can expect to log at least 50 charge hours per week, with some weeks trending higher as deadlines approach—but you won't be doing it alone
We collaborate, support each other, and always finish strong together
Our leadership team knows that public accounting is a demanding profession, which is the very reason for our ‘people-first' culture
Empowering our staff with ample time off is central to how we operate and an important component to giving you the time you need to recharge
In addition to 5 weeks of PTO, enjoy 14.5 paid holidays and paid leave options, including parental leave
Join our team, and you'll work with a damn good group of seasoned accounting professionals who thrive on a culture of respect, support, and being refreshingly easygoing, without sacrificing crucial career development and experience
We'll give you the tools and resources to do your best work and mentorship programs that go above and beyond standard training, including self-selected development courses and career coaches
