We Are Committed to Uninterrupted Service
Be assured that the health and well-being of team members, clients, colleagues, and their families are very important to us. We will continue to monitor the news and official government directives and make changes to policies based upon facts as they arise.
OFFICE LOBBY ACCESS
Please review your local office lobby access to clients and the public here: https://www.hawkinsash.cpa/contact/
Clients may contact their local office to coordinate pick up and drop off of documents or arrange alternative methods.
SENDING DOCUMENTS TO US?
To avoid interruption, we highly recommend the use of secure document sharing via our online portal, fax or email.
CLIENT SERVICE AND SOCIAL DISTANCING
Through this unprecedented time, we are committed to providing our clients the same level of service they have come to trust. We will do everything to limit disruptions and are committed to open dialogue. In an effort to remain available and responsive to your tax and financial needs while also observing social distancing guidance, we encourage our clients to utilize alternative methods of sharing documents and meeting with us. We have capabilities to communicate and remotely work with you through our secure online portal, mail, phone and fax. At this point, our offices will close to the public as local leaders see fit. Please contact your Hawkins Ash CPAs representative to determine the best approach for your needs.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
We have been proactively communicating with team members about common-sense hygiene practices to limit the spread of the virus, which includes asking anyone who is not feeling well to work from home. We are determining employee travel on an as-needed basis. As part of our tech-forward culture, we provide the tools and technology which allow our Hawkins Ash CPAs team members to work remotely effectively. As a team, we will continue to be responsive to your business needs.
