About Us

Pacific Northwest Tax Service, Inc. is a locally-owned and operated Oregon Corporation. Since we first opened for business in 1992, we have grown to become one of the larger independent tax services in Oregon. We now operate three year-round offices throughout the Portland Metro area.

Our company mission has always been to provide a complete range of business, consulting and tax preparation services at competitive prices. Pacific Northwest Tax Service continuously works to provide customers with highly trained and skilled preparers who care about the needs of our customers.

In 2001 we formed Pacific Northwest Tax School to offer in-depth training programs in basic and advanced tax law.  The quality of our school produces graduates who consistently achieve some of the states highest pass rates at the Oregon Tax Board Preparer and Consultant exams.  Customers of Pacific Northwest Tax Service enjoy the benefits of working with some of the most experienced and highly-trained preparers in our industry.
