From our people

“The caliber of the individuals I work with, regarding their intelligence and the manner in which they conduct themselves, and the standard of professionalism the company adheres to, makes me proud to work at Perkins.”

Mathew
Tax Manager

“I think it’s good that we face the public with something other than ‘we’re good accountants.’ There’s more to us. When I talk about my job I can be energized because I can talk about what a cool place it is to work and how great the people I work with are.”

Nick
Shareholder

“I feel like I can make mistakes here and the focus is on learning from them, not being punished. That was a huge shift from my prior employer and that has made coming to work everyday so much easier.”

Stephie
Payroll & Benefits Administrator

“When I show my clients I care—by talking to them with respect and creating a friendship—I can really help them thrive.”

What we've been up to

@perkinscopdx

Think variety, opportunity, and collaboration

Forget the solitary, desk-bound view of accounting life that dominates popular imagination.

While we do ask you to choose a home base—tax or audit—we’ll help you find your fit. Pigeonholing is not our style; you’ll have many opportunities to explore different industries and specialties.

And you can expect to receive outstanding mentoring, training, and professional development from day one.

CAREERS

Are you a well-seasoned accounting pro looking to accelerate your career?

Summer Internships

Some accounting firms fill internships with “special projects.” We give you real-life experience: two months in the life of a new staff accountant.

You’ll receive all the training and hands-on support we lavish on new hires. But as you settle in, you might be surprised by the independence and responsibility you’ll enjoy. Tax or audit team? We can help you decide. Whichever you choose, you’ll be immersed in all the variety and career-building challenges Perkins can offer.
