Join our team, and you’ll work with a damn good group of seasoned professionals who thrive on a culture of respect, support, and being refreshingly easygoing. We invest heavily in personal and professional development.
This is an opportunity to create vision for the IT team and Firm. Perkins is the largest locally owned accounting firm in Oregon and growing. We’re in early stages of leveraging automation and AI in our business. The IT team is in transition, and the Firm is evolving for the future. This is a true leadership position where you can have tremendous impact as you collaborate with other leaders to guide the firm through this evolution.
Essential Duties
Public accounting is a demanding profession, which is the very reason for our ‘people-first’ culture. We invite, support, and celebrate remote work. We trust our people so there’s no need to micromanage schedules or scrutinize “butts in seats” to know that great work is getting done. In fact, over 20% of our employees are fully remote from outside of the Pacific Northwest.
Nonetheless, given the nature of responsibilities in this leadership role, we have a strong preference for a local candidate who will embrace a hybrid work model, regularly working in-office at least two days per week. Highly qualified, non-local candidates may be considered if they’re willing to spend three to five consecutive workdays in Portland, OR, four times per year. When in the office, you’ll enjoy beautiful surroundings, ample public transportation options, paid parking, a bike garage, gym for employees, lots of complimentary snacks, and other amenities.
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 five weeks of PTO, enjoy 14.5 paid holidays and paid leave options, including parental leave. We even have a sabbatical program.
You’re an excellent leader with a track record of building teams, facilitating strong performance, and fostering collaboration across departments. You’re accustomed to working directly with executive teams or company owners, and you’re flexible to meet changing business needs. You’re organized. You have deep project management experience—appropriately prioritize/deprioritize, keep things moving, bring all the right people into the planning and discussion, anticipate and resolve problems, etc. for effective execution and completion of projects. You’re creative in finding solutions, and work with your smart colleagues to do so. You’re decisive as needed, but you’re even keeled (or at least can fake it). Finally, you must have a sense of humor and be able to “let your hair down” and have some fun. We take our work seriously around here, but not our egos.

We don’t like to brag, but we have some significant accolades under our belt—all thanks to our passionate teams. At Perkins, we feel good about our work and love that our community feels good about it, too.
Whew! That was A LOT of information! If you’re still reading, this job clearly resonates and there’s a good chance that you’re just the sort of IT leader we’re looking for. You know you want to apply. Go for it.
We keep it simple: just submit your resume or LinkedIn profile—no tedious application form or cover letter required (but we read them if you include one). Areena McLaughlin, Director of Recruiting, or another member of the recruiting team will respond timely.
