Stanley Goldis of Citrin Cooperman & Co. in Philadelphia
Stanley Goldis, a Philadelphia CPA and partner with Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP, was recently thanked by Bala Cynwyd Library for providing pro bono tax return services. Since 1992, Goldis has provided annual accounting services. He also served as the library’s treasurer for 10 years.
When Goldis, a Bala Cynwyd resident, was asked why he feels that it is important to share his professional talents with organizations in his community, he said, “I was taught by my father that you have to give back to the community where you live. It is your obligation to help those less fortunate.”
“Stanley’s talents and involvement with the library have truly been a gift to our community and have helped improve the library’s services to the public – especially now with public libraries facing severe budget cuts,” said Jean Knapp, Head Librarian of the Bala Cynwyd Library. “Since our library is responsible for raising funds to buy new books, magazines, DVDs and reference materials, Stanley’s services make it possible for us to allocate funds toward purchasing those items for our library patrons. He is a trusted friend, supporter and volunteer worker for the library and we hope to have his support for many years to come.”
Goldis also handles pro bono work in an advisory capacity for Chasdei Eliyahu, a nonprofit in Wynnewood, Pa., that accepts donations of furniture, clothing, kosher food, money and automobiles for needy members of the Greater Philadelphia community. He serves on the endowment committee for Torah Academy of Greater Philadelphia and on the board of directors for the Stern Hebrew High School in Philadelphia. He was honored at the inaugural dinner of Ohr Shalom Synagogue, in Ramat Beit Shemesh, Israel, for his efforts in the establishment of a permanent facility there. An avid cyclist, Goldis has participated in the Wheels of Love bicycle ride to benefit Alyn Hospital in Jerusalem.
With more than 40 years of accounting experience, Goldis helps Citrin Cooperman clients maximize the value of their agreements – including buy-sell transactions, partnership agreements and bank loans – with third parties through valuation services and negotiation services. He works with clients in a wide range of fields and has deep experience with law firms, dental practices, physicians and other professional service firms. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs. Goldis earned a degree in accounting from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia.
