Dear Friends and Clients,

We recognize there is uncertainty related to the spread of COVID-19 and that some of our clients may face challenges as a result of illness and/or business interruption. If you’re experiencing financial hardship, we’re here to help with planning advice. We want to assure you that we are here to serve your tax and accounting needs in alignment with the most current recommendations and requirements from the state and federal agencies that govern our practice, as well as with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Our current practice model already employs many of the current CDC recommendations for prevention of potential COVID-19 transmission and we will further modify based on directives and recommendations from the government and the CDC. One major area for further modification is the focus on “social distancing” measures.
In order to minimize risk to you and to our staff, and in keeping with these recommendations, until further notice, we will:

• Limit face to face meetings by conducting contact via email, telephone, Skype or other electronic means.
• Limit visits to our office to only essential contact needs.
• Transmit and receive documents electronically or via USPS postal mailings, FedEx, UPS or other delivery services.

Currently, we are working diligently, as usual, to meet tax and filing deadlines. We ask for your cooperation in the timely transmittal of documentation in order to avoid delays.

• If you need to mail items to our office, please be mindful of deadlines and anticipate the additional time it will take to send and receive.
• If it is necessary that you personally visit our office for pick-up or drop-off of items there will be marked bins located in the main office reception area. Please make advance arrangements for pick-up so your documents will be ready when you arrive.

We share your concerns about the spread and impact of the coronavirus, but we want you to know that our team is here to serve you and are especially grateful for the opportunity.

Thank you for choosing Hawthorne & Co. CPAs.
