i was on a call this morning with a client and i was sharing how wonderful it was to have all three kids back home (they would have been studying abroad, at college, or going to high school) and how nice it was to have family dinners together again. i was also sharing the positives with the kids that their grandparents were healthy, safe, and getting calls from so many family members and how important this was to them. as i was walking the dogs this morning it occurred to me that i heard birds chirping and that i had been “so busy being busy” for the past four decades that beautiful sounds like this or the smell of the morning air were never on my mind. at a deeper level, and to equate it to a sporting event, i feel like the proverbial “scoreboard” has malfunctioned and there is now a new way to keep score, and it is becoming the new normal.

the coronavirus crisis requires a total re-evaluation of how we conduct our business. for those firms with employees – as opposed to sole practitioners – it is critical to consider going fully remote during this time. it makes sense from a health standpoint and also from a business survival perspective. it’s important for employees to remain healthy and to be able to conduct work, especially during these busy times which involve tax filing deadlines and inevitable extensions.
