What we need to know about your Pandemic Plan

As all of you are aware, these are challenging times. With the increasing spread of the pandemic, all businesses are finding themselves impacted with staff absent from work. With this in mind, we wanted to share with your how we are managing our staffing and what you may need to consider as we move forward to ensure we can continue to meet your deadlines.

What are we doing

• We work as teams so there are multiple people who are aware of your books to assist as much as possible
• We work out of multiple locations so that minimizes our risk
• We have strict COVID protocols to do our best to stay healthy

How we will prioritize if needed
We are dedicated to making every effort to continue to meet your deadlines. Should all efforts fail, here is how we intend to prioritize:

• Payroll processing and Source Deduction payments
• Bill Payments (Telpay)
• T4’s / T4A’s, etc.
• GST / HST / PST
• Year End preparations
• Non-Profits – funder proposals. This priority may shift up depending on the flexibility of the funder

What we need from you

• Who is your backup if you become unavailable? Please let us know who you have in place for the following, and any other critical financial activities:
  • Payroll?
  • Payables?
  • Alternate signing officers?
  • Other?

Please try to get this information to us as soon as possible so that we may have the maximum amount of time to get the work done, and so you know we have it just in case something happens to you.
