Reliable Tax is an accountant in Portland, OR. The firm operates as Portland's oldest professional income tax service, a title it holds due to its founding in 1945. For 80 years, the business has provided tax preparation and consulting services to the local community. It is family-owned and operated through four generations, with Eric Curry serving as the owner and manager. The staff consists of experienced Licensed Tax Consultants and Licensed Tax Preparers who are available year-round to answer questions and handle tax issues. While the primary focus is preparing individual tax returns, the office also assists individuals and small businesses with financial planning, guidance on correspondence from taxing authorities, and understanding tax extensions. During the tax season, the office accepts walk-in clients, while off-season services are available via phone, email, and in-person appointments. The business maintains a client portal for returning customers to complete intake forms online or download them, and provides resources such as checklists and worksheets to help clients organize their data for filing.
The office is located at 3200 N Lombard St, situated on North Lombard Street. It is about a quarter of a mile from The UPS Store and Peninsula Elementary School. The location is also within a short distance of North Willamette and Bryant Park, North Willamette Boulevard, and Gammans Park, all of which are less than half a mile away.
Reliable Tax holds a rating of 4.70 based on 25 reviews, reflecting a strong local reputation among its customers. The firm compares its rates to national franchises while emphasizing that clients deal directly with licensed experts who have many years of experience, rather than first-year preparers. This long-standing presence in Portland, combined with its multi-generational family ownership and consistent service since 1945, establishes it as a dedicated local resource for tax needs.
