Letter to clients announcing the death of the owner

by Chill

My father, owner of a successful CPA practice, recently passed away. I am looking for assistance on writing a letter to clients to communicate the CPA firm will continue to serve them even though my dad has passed away.

Any help would be appreciated

Answer:

Hi Chill,

First of all, my condolences.

Below is an example for such a letter:

All of us here at ACME CPA suffered a great personal loss on September 9 with the unexpected death of Bill Baker, founder and Senior Partner of ACME CPA.

Mr. Baker had been (insert all the details you wish to provide).

He is survived by his wife Sally, his son Chill, and two grandchildren.

In a statement issued by the Senior Partners of ACME CPA, it was announced that Charles Goodman, head of audit, will serve as interim Managing Partner while a search committee seeks a new member.

Again, my deepest sympathies.
