To all the clients I have had the pleasure of working with this past year: Thank you!

Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the mess of tax and funding challenges, cost cuts and tough decisions. Through the maze of government programs and the effects of civil unrest. Thank you for sharing your concerns, your fears and your hopes. Thank you for being my livelihood, for allowing me to work and school my kids from home. For adapting to drop offs and select pick ups instead of face to face working sessions, and electronically transmitting so much more information than ever before. For your patience while we calculated, refigured, guesstimated and recalculated the impacts of ever changing eligibility and use rules of the PPP, EIDL and countless other acronym roll outs.

There can be some tedium in dealing with the details, the minutiae of tax law and industry regulation day in and day out - and there was so much more of it in the hundreds of pages of ever-evolving government regulations this year - but 2020 make it clear just how important that work is. I have felt needed, useful, and essential all year.

Thank you for being gracious, and for your appreciation.

I look forward to serving you again throughout 2021. May it be a better year in all the ways that matter.

Humbly,

Eli
