When we prepared for Portland’s charter transition, we organized operations into service areas, which are groupings of bureaus and programs with related missions. We always anticipated the City’s organizational structure continuing to evolve. The need to evaluate and iterate has been heightened by our historic budget gap and our commitment to operate as effectively as possible. Historically, the bookkeeper has been under utilized by business owners. Accountants often focus solely on taxes, providing financial information to business owners long after it’s relevant for business decisions. The magic happens when our intuitive software and real, human support come together.

Mayor Wilson and I believe it’s critical to continue leveraging the benefits of service areas while streamlining operations and creating clear lines of decision-making. As part of that effort, we intend to consolidate from six service areas to four. We are also advancing a more interlinked and centralized model for delivering core services across the enterprise. The streamlined structure consolidates six service areas into four, with core functions like communications, engagement, and equity undergoing realignment to unify approaches and optimize service delivery.
