If you have an AAT Licence, have a look in the professional zone, there’s lots of useful information including engagements templates.

Dilrukshi

Thank you very much for your comment. I have already checked that templates. I feel they are too long. If I can find short versioned templates It will be better.

You should adapt them to suit your business needs and the engagement with the client which could be different for another business. It takes time but it’s worth doing. This is not a tick box, a good engagement letter could save you a lot of money later down the line. You should review your engagement letter for each client to make sure it meets the needs.

Thanks for your advice. Do I need to produce different engagement letter for every service (Payroll/Company tax/ bookkeeping).

I issue a schedule of services which is adapted to each client depending on the services to be provided.

Dilrukshi

Thank you very much. If you don't t mind do I have any chance to get copy of them?

As I say I adapt them to each client so this is something you need to do for yourself.

Dilrukshi

OK..Thanks...
