About Accounting Connections
Quite simply, we are a local (Portland Metro/Vancouver) staffing agency that was formed in 1996 to help the business community to acquire the best accounting and finance personnel available to fulfill their needs.
Our Company History
We started small and by industry and even local standards, we're still small. This is by design. We feel the best way to service our clients and job candidates is individually. We want to get to know you and your needs so that we can give you the right fit, the first time, on time.
Like most in our field, we began in Class 'A' office space, attempting to convey the image we felt was necessary to our clients and candidates. When the need to expand arose, we changed our approach entirely.
Today we are located in a 100-year old house converted to office space and nestled within a mixed use neighborhood in Northwest Portland. Not many staffing services have a backyard and none have a backyard like ours. We have featured twice in leading national garden magazines and we're included in the National Registry at the Smithsonian.
Despite these comfortable surroundings, we feel we are an example of what can be accomplished by hard work and forward-thinking.
We are a 4-time winner of the Portland Business Journal's Fastest Growing Private 100 award and a past recipient of the prestigious Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Award.
We were one of the first to offer employee drug testing to our clients and we were the first and still one of few to background check employees. We background check 100% of all job candidates that are placed in a position thru our Company.
We adopted green methods long before they became an industry buzzword. For years, in conjunction with Northwest Organic Farms in Ridgefield, Washington, we have been recycling our plastics, our cardboard and even resume hardcopies that didn't arrive electronically. Those are cross-cut shredded and added to compost.
We didn't start there and we won't stop there. We are constantly striving to streamline processes to reduce waste to help protect and increase the health of our environment.
