Job DescriptionDescription:Tax, Estate & Trust Accountant
Portland, OR
Geffen Mesher & Company proudly stands as one of Portland's foremost locally owned accounting firms, with a distinguished history of over 90 years dedicated to serving clients throughout the Northwest. We owe our enduring success to our client-centric ethos and unwavering commitment to our team members. We provide a full suite of professional services, including Accounting, Assurance, Business Consulting, Business Valuation, Data and Analytics, Litigation Support, Family Office, Transaction Services, and full-service Tax planning, spanning several industries.
We are seeking an Tax, Estate & Trust Accountant to join our team. In this role, be responsible for the efficient accurate, complete, and timely preparation and review of estate, gift, and fiduciary tax returns. You can juggle multiple projects to a high degree of efficiency, and you demonstrate proficient technical skills in a variety of tax and accounting areas. You'll help business leaders look around corners, go beyond the numbers, do something different by developing rapport with clients and making a difference. Whether you intend to specialize or would rather gain exposure across many service lines, you won't be limited at Geffen Mesher. We'll encourage you to explore diverse opportunities to find your focus and thrive in your chosen career.

Why you should join our team
Shameless plug(s): we are in the top 1% of CPA firms in the U.S. We are also consistently ranked among the Most Admired Companies by the Portland Business Journal.
Culture: Just like we believe in fostering strong, lasting partnerships with our clients, we do the same for our team members. We are a mid-sized firm with a small firm feel. Our shareholders are humble, down-to-earth humans who hire and support motivated and resourceful people and provide opportunities to lead successful personal and professional lives. We provide ample growth opportunities whether you are starting as an intern, or you are a seasoned manager.
We value our people and strive to create a supportive, inclusive culture: Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) Committee, Women's Leadership Initiative (WLI), Working Moms Group, Advisor Program, and Leadership Development Program (LDP).
We give back to our communities. Today, our team supports more than 80 charitable organizations by serving on boards of directors, making charitable donations, and volunteering our time. In addition to our extensive organizational involvement, we close our office for one day each year and volunteer directly in the community.
Did you say "busy season"? Since this is public accounting, you can expect to work extra hours during busy seasons. We do our best to keep you motivated, energized, and engaged during that time. We offer catered lunch three days a week, tons of healthy snacks, weekly yoga & massages, and bi-weekly office socials.
Benefits & Perks: We offer a comprehensive benefit package to help protect your personal and financial health and that of your family. At Geffen Mesher, we offer a generous 401k and profit-sharing plan. We'll cover 100% of your individual monthly medical premium costs and provide paid parental leave.
