Tax Senior Manager

Ready to make a jump to a firm that really does put it’s people first? We are looking for a seasoned senior tax manager to join our growing business tax team. This particular practice focuses on closely held family groups and their individual owners. It’s relationship heavy and never boring, and we are adding this position to make room for additional growth on this team. 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. What’s the work arrangement? 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. Interested in moving to Portland? That works too – and we will help cover the cost. Please be explicit about this on your resume or cover letter. 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 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 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. Time off to recharge. 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. A smart move for your career. 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 invite you to focus on your passions, promote you when you’re ready, and celebrate each career milestone you experience with us. What makes you a fit for this role?
