Open for Business – Office Access Limited

Blankenship CPA Group’s operations are running. 作为一个组织，考虑到我们今天作为一个国家所面临的形势，我们决定采取一些谨慎的行动, and as a people. 在进一步通知之前，只有有限的员工才能进入我们的办公室.

Why are we doing this?

美国疾病控制中心和美国总统办公室要求，只要有可能，所有人都应该在家工作至少15天，以减缓传播. 此外，在类似的指导方针中，建议不要举行10人或10人以上的聚会. 我们在公司采用的一句话是“我们的集体健康是我们的集体责任”.“感谢你们加入我们的努力，因为我们作为一个社区和一个国家走到一起.

What are we doing?

How are we restricting access to Protect our Clients and our Team?

自20年3月18日起，我们将限制员工进入办公室. Unfortunately, we cannot have any exceptions. 我们的许多客户和团队都属于高危人群. It is our commitment to you, as our client, that drives this decision. 限制进入是唯一的方法，我们确保我们不会把你置于危险之中，如果你希望与我们见面, 因为我们无法确保我们办公室以前的所有客户都是健康的. The doors will be locked. We are still serving you, and we want to meet with you virtually, talk with you on the phone, and look forward to sitting down again as soon as it is prudent to do so. 如有文件，请致电查询寄存事宜. All other email and phone communication channels are open, 我们很高兴地宣布，所有团队成员都可以参加网络视频会议. If you want to meet, ask for a link!

Where is my Blankenship Team?
