Paul Sander

Paul provides expert tax and accounting services to Fordham & Co LLP clients as the partner-in-charge of its tax practice.

Paul joined Fordham & Fordham in 1983. In 1987, he left the firm to take a position as chief financial officer for a closely held, family-owned business with $100 million in sales and 300 employees. After 10 years in that position, Paul returned to Fordham & Fordham and became a partner when the Fordham & Co LLP merger occurred.

Paul’s background provides him with unique expertise in closely held companies and family-owned businesses. With over 30 years of accounting and management experience, Paul provides a full range of tax, accounting and consulting services, including:

Estate and succession planning

• Outsourced CFO
• Business planning
• Merger and acquisitions
• Cost segregation
• Retirement plans
• Employee benefits
• Research and development credit studies

Paul delivers these services as he works with business owners to reach their personal and professional financial goals. His clients include owners of companies in the industries of manufacturing, healthcare, construction, real estate, agriculture, retail and hospitality, with annual sales between $1 and $100 million.

As Paul works with clients, he always strives to be part of the solution. He feels it is important to provide viable solutions when addressing issues that prevent his clients from reaching their goals.

Paul is an Oregon native residing in the Cedar Mill area. On a personal note, he enjoys golf and retreating with his family to the Mt. Hood recreation area on a regular basis.
