On behalf of everyone at FPA, we hope you, your employees and your loved ones are safe and healthy.

On Monday, March 16th, we sent an update with our response to COVID-19 and our ability to service our clients without disruption. As things are evolving quickly, we continue to actively monitor the developments of COVID-19 and adhere to the recommendations of federal agencies and local governments.

With that, we are working remotely following the mandates, including practicing social distancing, and essential-only onsite visits. With our investment over the years in our technology infrastructure, we are 100% fully functional remotely connected and are fully equipped to continue servicing our clients seamlessly, for as long as we need to, whether our offices are physically open or not. We continue to operate with a "business as usual" approach, just from a different location.

In the interim, if there is anything we can do for you, please reach out to us directly. We are thankful for the relationships we've developed with our clients over the years, so know that we are here for you. We are in this together, and together we will navigate these uncertain times.

To your health, well-being, and success!
