Why

Revolution Accounting and Advisory exists to help transform organizations, leveraging technologies to make everybody's job easier and to give leaders at every level unprecedented visibility and control of their financial and operational information. 

We love solving problems with technology and keeping our eye out for the next thing that will help our customers thrive, make their lives better, and amplify their impact in the world.

Values

We believe that technology and commerce have unparalleled power to make positive change in individual people's lives and in the world as a whole – and that profits can be a good thing. We also believe that markets by themselves can not be expected to solve all problems. Balances between the success of individuals and the promotion of the greater good are up to all of us collectively. A healthy economy depends on providing for a healthy world and an inclusionary society, whether or not an individual organization or person can profit from it.

Bring Solutions

While it's easy to find problems, focus on ways outcomes can be improved and people's work can be simplified.

03.
Own your communication

Speak out early and often. Be authentic and address issues without unneccesary confrontation nor equivocation. Listen.

04.
Work is fun!

Monetary rewards are great and necessary but fun and connection is what makes people look forward to working with us.

Our Story

For decades, the biggest companies have used Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to manage all their data systems and feed their financial and operational reporting. After more than 20 years as a PeopleSoft ERP consultant and trainer, on-demand accounting manager, and interim finance director, Tom Achor started Revolution in 2013 to help bring that capability to nonprofits and companies in the middle and on the rise. It’s all possible and affordable because of Cloud applications.

Revolution Accounting works exclusively with top-tier cloud vendors like Intacct and we are not shackled to a legacy client/server business so we are future-focused and nimble.

Although we work in the Cloud, our feet are on the ground in Portland, Oregon,  a place where we know a thing or two about clouds. With a famously entrepreneurial spirit and rich ecology, the city is home to not just coffee roasters and craft brewers, but software and activewear companies, professional service organizations, dynamic not-for-profits and visionary social enterprises.
