A Message from Abe Mathew
During these challenging times, we wanted to share some resources available for our Sage Intacct Blog subscribers and readers. Almost a month ago our firm started developing teams to support our clients in responding to COVID-19. I’d like to share a few of them with you.
Data Analytics Team
Our data analytics team developed a solution we call CLA Intuition 2.0, a scenario planning tool. Our CEO, Denny Schleper, stated “We want to be sure that, no matter what tomorrow holds, [organizations within our communities] have a plan”. CLA Intuition 2.0 is designed to help you develop those plans. If you are interested in learning more about this solution, please don’t hesitate to let me know or fill out the form at the bottom of this page (https://www.claconnect.com/general/cla-intuition) to get started right away.
CARES Act Team
With the CARES Act, a team was formed to help provide organizations support and guidance with the provisions that apply to them, especially as it relates to the Payroll Protection Provisions (PPP), the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (EIDL), Tax Credits, and State and Local programs among other things. There is a lot there so we launched a COVID 19 Response Website: https://www.claconnect.com/COVID19 and a live stream series: https://www.claconnect.com/events/2020/cla-livestream-series. If you need support right away you can contact our CLA COVID19 Response Team directly by submitting your information here: https://www.claconnect.com/general/tax-economic-and-workforce-support.
