The role emphasizes both technical development and client service, with opportunities to mentor junior staff as you progress.
The position suits someone with accounting coursework or prior internship experience who is comfortable with independent problem-solving in a team setting. You'll need strong communication skills, basic knowledge of GAAP and tax regulations, and proficiency with relevant software. A bachelor's degree is required; a master's in accounting or taxation is preferred, as is a demonstrated commitment to pursuing your CPA. The in-office arrangement in Portland means you'll work directly with clients and colleagues, and travel may be necessary depending on client needs.
