Jordan Goodman (SALT Attorney)

Special offer to all CPAmerica members:

Jordan M. Goodman provides a two level State and Local Tax consulting service to member firms and/or their clients. The Consultation Service will work in one of the following two ways: a complimentary 30 minute brief oral consultation, or engagement support when the brief oral consultation would be insufficient.  In the event of engagement support, the CPAmerica member firm will determine whether it should retain Mr. Goodman, or whether the CPAmerica member firm's client should retain him.  The duration and fees related to this type of support and the work product to be delivered will be agreed upon in advance for each inquiry by the CPAmerica member firm and/or its client.
