Meeting Professional Standards (ICAEW & ACCA)
Professional regulatory bodies including ICAEW, ACCA, and AAT mandate that accounting practices hold a valid, signed letter of engagement outlining terms of business, fee structures, and liability caps before commencing service.
Legacy signing platforms force accounting clients through confusing registration screens, leading to dropped onboarding and delayed fee collection.
Upload your own engagement letter (your terms, your wording) and send it for client signature and countersigning.
Furthermore, ChickenSign's verification portal at /verify/:code allows practice managers and compliance auditors to instantly verify cryptographic integrity without revealing client confidentiality.
Sequential Multi-Party Signing Workflow
Sequential signing ensures the client signs the engagement terms first before the document is automatically passed to the firm's partner for final execution and cryptographic sealing.
When sending a partnership tax return approval or bespoke engagement package, select 'Sequential' in ChickenSign's visual stage.
Signer 1 (the client) receives their private signing link first via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Once they authenticate their acceptance, Signer 2 (the partner) receives the countersignature notification.
When both complete, a dual SHA-256 sealed PDF is distributed to all parties.
