Client Engagement Letters UK: Key Clauses & Getting Yours Signed

Accountants, bookkeepers, and consultants need a signed engagement letter before the work starts. Write it yourselves, upload the PDF, and use sequential signing so the client signs before the partner countersigns.

The letter is yours to write

Quick Answer / Definition

ChickenSign does not produce engagement letters. You upload the PDF your firm already uses, place the signature fields, and send a private link.

The letter should say who you owe a duty to, who may rely on the work, how fees are charged, and how either side ends the engagement.

Export that letter as a PDF from your practice's own files. ChickenSign sends that file. It does not add terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ChickenSign include an engagement letter?

No. Upload the engagement letter your firm already uses. ChickenSign only collects the signatures and the audit record.

How does sequential signing work for an engagement letter?

Set the order when you send your PDF. The client signs first. The partner is invited to countersign after that. Both then receive the signed file and the proof of signing.
