Does anyone happen to have an example of an engagement letter, need to set one up for my clients bit stuck on what to include. I am a self employed bookkeeper.
 
If you are a member of any of the professional bodies they will normally supply them - I have them on CD from the ACCA.

If not this may help -

I had a feeling the AAT used to have them on their website but I had a quick search and couldnt find anything.

Looks like it's now in the MiP private area.
That said, it's a good (if lengthy) engagement letter which covers most things.
If you want a copy, PM me your email address.

You dont get anything for free now - the ACCA charged me £35 for a CD containing the LOE's!!
And we pay our professional fees for..... :|:p

The sample AAT letter is the same one that was freely available before, it's good but needs tweaking for individual use.

We charge £30.00 plus VAT for a set of 34. These cover limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, directors, landlords etc and are tailored towards each type of entity with each variation of service requirement (payroll, VAT, bookkeeeping, financial accounts, corporation tax etc)
The prof body ones are all well and good but we try to cover more commercial situations such as responsibility for dividend paperwork, missed meetings, full charging detail, annual returns, limitation of liability, complaints procedure and many other situations facing the accounting firm.

The letters will be ready next week, if interested please contact me or Zöe (Simpson) at the Seahorse email address.
