In these times of uncertainty, Abdo, Eick & Meyers (AEM) maintains a commitment to help care for and protect our employees, our clients, their families, and communities we serve.
As changes have occurred very quickly related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we’ve been closely monitoring and adjusting our firm’s operations. After reviewing guidance provided by the CDC and state and local officials, we are taking an important step to temporarily close our offices beginning at 5:00 PM on Friday, March 20th. Please know, our firm is not a business in buildings or offices – it is the talented people we work with each day. Our amazing staff will continue to serve you as we move to a fully remote work environment until further notice.
As part of our business continuity planning, we have invested heavily in technology and infrastructure supporting a work-from-anywhere culture over the past few years. Earlier this week, we conducted a successful full test of our preparedness plan by requiring all AEM team members to work from home to stress-test our systems. We are confident in our ability to fully serve you as we adjust our firm operations.
The following options are available to you:
Sending us your documents
- We request that clients use electronic delivery of documents via our secure delivery system. Instructions are available here: Send Me Secure Files
- If you do not have access to a scanner, we recommend the use of an application to securely scan your documents with the camera on a mobile device (i.e. cell phone, tablet). Instructions are available here: AEM - MS Office Lens Scanner Instructions
- Documents may also be mailed to our office locations via the United States Postal Service. An AEM employee will retrieve mail from our offices daily but will not be available for drop off documents.
Communicating/Meeting with us
- You can continue to contact your AEM representatives directly via phone or email.
- We encourage the use of our easy-to-use video conferencing technology to meet. This technology allows us to have a “face-to-face” meeting experience with the ability to review documents with you in real time.
- Scheduling meetings can be done by contacting your AEM representatives directly or emailing info@aemcpas.com.
Receiving your documents (tax returns, statements, reports, invoices, etc.)
- To support business continuity and ensure prompt delivery, all documents and files will be delivered to you electronically via our secure email system.
- Please make sure we have your preferred email address on file and provide any updates to your staff contact at AEM.
As we continue to closely track developments regarding COVID-19, we will provide you with additional updates, including relevant updates from the IRS, Treasury, MN Department of Revenue, and so forth. Most recently, the following changes have been announced:
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this unprecedented situation and thank you for putting your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Abdo, Eick & Meyers, LLP
