Hello! I live and work in Los Angeles (senior auditor, CPA, work on private equity funds), and planning to relocate to Oregon or Washington states for family reasons (Portland or something near; maybe Seattle, but Portland is more preferable). I heard that my company's office there is not good (not a big presence in Portland; better in Seattle, but it’s a bit far for me), so I don’t want to transfer. Could anyone please recommend a good local accounting/advisory/CPA firm? Thank you!

Why not try a different big4 or national firm?

There’s not a huge PE presence outside of major markets so you might struggle and need to switch areas is focus. Moss Adam’s I think has some presence up there.

Delap, Kernutt stokes, Geffen Mesher, Perkins and Co. I set up a recruiting event for Oregon state and those are some of the local firms I remember. I know there is a Pwc, Deloitte, KPMG, and Moss office as well.

Us. We have a big PNW presence
