Tax Manager

The work location for this role is flexible. We are open to candidates who are in the United States and interested in a fully remote arrangement, although preference will be given to local candidates or candidates on the West Coast. Candidates interested in relocating to the Portland area may be eligible for moving assistance. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor work visas or hire internationally.

We are looking for a seasoned tax manager to join our non-profit practice. Our nonprofit practice is robust, but not enough to keep someone busy full-time. In this role you will spend 50% of your time focused on nonprofit clients, while spending the other half working with our small business clients and their individual owners. As the practice continues to grow, the amount of time focused on tax exempt clients will increase correspondingly. If you are passionate about working with non-profits, and excited to be part of a growing team, we want to hear from you!

We don?t just accommodate remote work, we invite it, support it, and celebrate it. Our tax and audit teams may be spread across the country, but they work together seamlessly and successfully. We trust you to get your work done, whether you're in person, hybrid, or fully remote.

Our leadership team knows that public accounting is a demanding profession, which is the very reason for our ?people-first? culture. What works best for you works best for us.

Perkins empowers its staff with reasonable expectations around working hours: Full-time managers have a goal of 1375 charge hours (2300 total hours), generally without the expectation that you'll work weekends unless that's your thing. We're working hard to get busy season hours down to an average of 50 hours/week.

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. Our open-door policy gives you easy access to leadership , and our "choose your own adventure" approach to career development allows you to grow your career the way you want. We invite you to focus on your passions, promote you when you're ready, and celebrate each career milestone you experience with us.
