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. 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.

This is an "Evergreen" job posting, which means we regularly hire for this role throughout the year, although we may not have a current opening. We encourage you to apply as our needs can change quickly. We review applications as they are submitted and will provide a status update. Thank you for considering a career with us!

Work whenever and wherever you want.

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.

A culture where flexibility and balance add up to success.

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.

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.
