About Us
Goddard & Associates
Goddard & Associates is a financial services firm based out of Yakima, Washington, formally known as Terry Goddard CPA. Our firm has serviced clients accounting and financial needs since 1978 when Terry Goddard took a chance and started a CPA firm to service Yakima clients of every size and industry. As Terry’s firm progressed, Terry prided himself on creating partnerships with clients to help satisfy critical accounting needs in the Yakima Valley at an affordable price. While Terry’s firm has grown in size his
emphasis on client service and employee retention still hold true to the core values he established in the late 1970’s. Goddard & Associates continues to remain loyal to those core values by promising a different experience from your normal Accounting Office experience. We focus on not just helping clients solve problems, but also preventing problems from ever occurring. Our partnership with our clients remains a key component to why we are still servicing the great people and businesses of the Pacific Northwest.
Our Team
Brady Bendall
Brady is an experienced accountant that focuses on coaching his clients through their various financial needs. Brady is a Central Washington University graduate that started his career at a national accounting firm focusing on tax accounting in the retail industry. Brady knew that his dream was to better serve local business through the ever-changing financial world and jumped at the opportunity to own his own firm. That same entrepreneurial spirit is what drives him to service his clients through the entire picture of
financial accounting and coaching.
“My favorite part about my job is helping businesses understand that there is more to accounting than filing quarterly and annual tax returns. Accounting can play an integral part in the longevity and success of a business, and I hope to deliver that help to my clients."

Cynthia Gibson
Cindy started her accounting career with Terry Goddard shortly after he opened his CPA office in
Yakima. She started at the ground level and became Terry’s trusted assistant. She became the General
Manager in 2014. When Terry was looking to slow down it was only natural for Cindy to consider purchasing the business from Terry. Cindy specializes in the technical details of every aspect of the accounting and tax business as well as making sure the office runs smoothly. Cindy and Brady are a great team that has continued to take care of our employees and our clients.
