About

Pacific Northwest Tax Service is a locally owned and operated Portland-based family business founded in 1992 by Jess and April Gutierrez. Sons Austin and Jordan Gutierrez joined the family business to ensure continued community-based service.

For over 30 years, our guiding principle has been to provide each customer with access to a team of dedicated professionals committed to delivering quality tax return preparation, accounting, and payroll services. We emphasize knowledge, experience, and accuracy, and most of our staff are employed year-round rather than seasonally. In 2001 we opened Pacific Northwest Tax School to provide our staff with the best possible tax education training. We have two offices located on the east and west sides of Portland, serving clients with tax, audit, accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, and business consulting services.
