Community Involvement
Annual Scholarship - In an effort to help promising students pursue public accounting as a profession, we award the Goodman & Company, LLP, Annual Scholarship of $2,500 each year to a college junior or senior accounting major. The student must be currently enrolled in an accredited Virginia college or university and must demonstrate academic excellence and financial need. The VSCPA Educational Foundation administers the scholarship, with funding from Goodman & Company.
Goodman Accounting Challenge - The Goodman Accounting Challenge is an interactive and educational competition in which teams of four students research and present written solutions to a test that simulates real-life accounting situations. In 2007, 24 teams participated, with the first place winner receiving $2,500 for their school accounting department, and $1,500 per team member.
Fantastic 50 - Goodman & Company has partnered with the Virginia Chamber of Commerce to support growing businesses in Virginia as a signature sponsor of Virginia's Fantastic 50, an award program that recognizes the 50 fastest-growing companies in Virginia for their contribution to the Commonwealth through increased employment and capital investment.
As a signature sponsor for the event, Goodman & Company verifies the accuracy of all the financial information that the many companies submit and produces a final ranking.
Open to all types of businesses, the Fantastic 50 is the only program that recognizes growing companies on a statewide basis.

Famous quotes containing the words community and/or involvement:
“I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making. . . . Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn’t mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
