Andrew Gordon, Esq., CPA

Andrew Gordon is a tax attorney and Certified Public Accountant and the Managing Partner of Gordon Law Group. He founded the firm in 2012 after clerking at the IRS Office of Chief Counsel during law school and working in tax at a Big Four accounting firm, with a simple idea: the strategies large firms use to resolve tax problems should be available to people who cannot afford large firms.

In 2014 an Ethereum developer asked Andrew for help with cryptocurrency taxes at a time when almost no tax professional would touch the subject. That matter became the start of a crypto tax practice that now makes up the majority of the firm’s work, and Andrew has represented crypto investors and businesses before the IRS through every market cycle since. He has testified before the IRS and Treasury on the digital asset broker reporting rules that became Form 1099-DA, and his commentary on crypto tax has appeared on CNBC, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, NerdWallet, USA Today, and The Washington Post.

Andrew’s practice covers tax controversy, cryptocurrency tax law, offshore disclosure, opinion letters, and corporate representation for technology-forward companies. Holding both a law license and a CPA shapes how he works a matter: the legal strategy and the numbers come from the same desk.

He teaches as an adjunct professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law in the Emerging Technologies program, serves as a director of Digital Asset Tax Action, and is a member of the Chicago Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association. He writes about crypto tax policy and his work in Washington on his Substack.
