It’s here – Our Newly-Redesigned Logo!
Earlier this summer we announced the acquisition of local CPA firm Richard L. Olster, PA (Olster). As part of that process, and along with our new office renovation (you should stop by!), we have launched a new logo to reflect our firm’s forward-thinking services and direction. “We thought that our external image should reflect our internal image. We have traditionally used royal blue in our logo; but, we thought the steel color adds some strength to it,” commented David J Goodman CPA, MST, the firm’s managing director. Our firm is about having profound impacts, so we added that to our logo. Profound impacts are deep, meaningful results. That’s why our team comes to LB Goodman & Co each day. We have also shortened our name for easier communication. Along with these changes, we have officially registered our firm in Florida and are pursuing opportunities throughout the state. To join our mailing list to get our monthly email blast, send an email to Solutions@LBGCPas.com.
