As we continue to monitor the Coronavirus (COVID-19), I believe it is now time for me to address the impact of the virus with you today. Benoit Financial Planners will remain open but at the same time steps have been taken to minimize impact to you, our employees and the community.
Our goal is to both maintain the health of our clients and employees while ensuring that we continue to deliver the service you have come to expect.
As a company, we have been following the CDC's recommendations to prevent the spread of the virus to ourselves and others. As it is believed that the virus spreads mainly from close person-to-person contact, we are taking the step to decrease the need for clients to come into the office. If you are scheduled for a face-to-face meeting over the next few weeks, we will contact you to offer you the opportunity to switch that appointment to a phone call.
In the case you are still planning on coming into the office and you should feel under the weather, please stay home and we will reschedule your appointment.
Also, I have stayed in close contact with Cambridge, our broker-dealer, and they too have a business contingency plan to continue operations as usual, even in the event of a quarantine.
We will continue to monitor this evolving situation and keep you informed of future updates.
