MatthewsPlus is a CPA firm that focuses on what really matters: people. We're more than number crunchers and bean counters – we provide clients with the intangibles, such as listening and understanding life's finer details, so they can make wise decisions that will have positive effects on their financial futures.

Because people matter
Our work environment encourages employees to put people ahead of "billable hours." It may sound like a simple thing, but in my 30+ years of working as a CPA, I found that people's needs were not always the chief concern.

"We're passionate about numbers and about helping people. It's easy to see as soon as you walk in the office. We focus on building client relationships, which is really the most important thing." (Litigation Specialist, MatthewsPlus)

It doesn't take long in this profession to discover that clients bring with them an array of unique circumstances. In many cases, there are things at play that go well beyond the numbers – whether it's the needs found in a family-owned business, or the struggles of entrepreneurs trying to align their professional and personal tax pictures. We go out of our way to see the world from their perspective, and provide big picture thinking that gives each client a wide-angle view of their tax situation.

"I would call them forensic accountants. They strategically know how to look way beyond the immediate picture and see how things will impact you well into the future. They really care about their clients." (Owner, Portland area Restaurant)
