Smart bookkeepers store knowledge in their head. Savvy bookkeepers use templates.
Our Bookkeeping Proposal / Engagement Letter + Terms & Conditions can be sent to potential clients during the quoting process. You can also send it to existing clients when changing your pricing model, or to those clients who never signed an engagement letter.
Our Proposal includes the following sections:

- Confidentiality agreement
- Liability protection for your practice (this also covers cyber security expectations)

Our Bookkeeping Engagement Letter is a professionally presented Bookkeeping Proposal document giving your clients a clear set of guidelines and expectations for working with you.
Having a lack of boundaries in client relationships is a recipe for stress:
- Difficult clients
- Slow paying or bad debts
- Legal problems
- Stress for you and your team
Don't risk your business, your hard sales and onboarding process. Ensure every client signs an engagement letter before working with them.
