You will see goodwill on a lot of companies balance sheet where they have acquired companies.. Common place.. You will even see goodwill that run into billions. And that gets written off every quarter.. One reason a lot of tech companies keep reporting earnings excluding write offs.

When I am looking at a balance sheet, I normally take out goodwill from share holder equity to get a true sense of what assets and liabilitIes are like... FWIW..
