Cindy Gomerdinger, CPA, Managing Partner, Gomerdinger & Associates
Would you hire a district attorney to handle your business legal needs? Not likely. What makes for a great DA is not the same skill set needed for business law.
Just as all attorneys are not alike, CPAs have different scopes and specialties. Typically, a CPA gets categorized as a tax or audit specialist, but some CPAs excel beyond these traditional boundaries.
Cindy Gomerdinger is one such CPA. Besides traditional tax preparation and accounting, Cindy offers extensive business planning and management advisory services.
Gomerdinger’s background underscores her commitment to be a leader in the Certified Public Accounting profession, as well as the business community:
-- Financial and tax service specialist to closely held businesses since 1987
-- Experienced in retailing, wholesaling, construction, manufacturing, professional services, not for profits
-- President, past Treasurer, Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce
-- CPA certificate, California, 1991
-- CPA certificate, Colorado, 1993
-- Bachelor’s Degree, Accounting, Kansas State University, 1987
