Community

We believe doing well means doing good.

We’re proud of the tight-knit Portland community and the camaraderie, collaboration and support the Northwest offers—and we love to let it show.

Community involvement is firmly rooted in our culture.

That’s why every Perkins employee receives encouragement and support to participate in professional, charitable, and nonprofit associations.

Not to be outdone, our shareholders also donate their time and expertise, often as advisory or board members.

The business side of giving back

As the area’s largest, locally-owned accounting firm, we feel it’s our duty (and pleasure!) to strengthen the wider business community. So we’re glad to have the opportunity to advise, connect, and support niche industries, startups, and nonprofits to help increase opportunities throughout the region.

Maybe that’s one reason more than 2,500 CEOs across Oregon surveyed by the Portland Business Journal ranked Perkins & Co as one of Oregon’s Most Admired accounting firms among all professional service firms. The award honors not only our expertise but also our dedication to our clients and community.
