Senior Manager - Client Accounting Services (CAS)

We’re looking for a seasoned Senior Manager to help lead and expand our Client Accounting Services (CAS) department.This role is all about driving strategy, inspiring teams, and delivering top-tier client service. You’ll collaborate with department leaders, guide a growing team, and shape the future of CAS.

If you’re energized by solving complex accounting challenges, love relationship building, and thrive on building lasting client relationships—let’s talk.

What’s the work arrangement?

Our teams work seamlessly across locations—and unlike many firms, we haven’t issued a firmwide RTO mandate. That said, we’d love for this position to be based in the Portland metro or SW Washington area and be available to come into either our Portland or Vancouver office about 2 day / week. Being local will enable you to attend various business development and networking events, client meetings, and  other industry functions, as needed.

Thinking about relocating? We’ll help cover the cost. Just let us know in your resume or cover letter if you include one.

A culture where balance and impact go hand in hand.

We know public accounting can be a demanding profession, which is why we’ve built a culture that respects your time, values your expertise, and supports your growth.

Our CAS Senior Managers have a target of 1,110 charge hours (2,150 total hours annual), giving you the structure you need, without the burnout.

You can expect to co-lead weekly management meetings, contribute to business development, and help shape the professional development of our team—all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

What’s in it for you?

At Perkins, you’ll be surrounded by smart, collaborative, and creative professionals who genuinely enjoy rolling up their sleeves to help clients reach their full potential.

The role offers plenty of variety—no two days or clients are the same—and you’ll be part of an innovative, people-first culture that values balance, impact, and continuous learning.

Time off to recharge.

We believe in rest and recovery. That’s why we offer 5 weeks of PTO , 14.5 paid holidays , and paid leave options, including parental and caregiver leave. We want you to bring your best self to work—and that starts with taking care of yourself.
