FAQ
The questions accountants ask first
Does Finn sign the engagement letter?
No. Finn drafts it from your template and the client's details. You send it, and the client signs it themselves through the link.
Is the 64-8 filed with HMRC automatically?
No. The 64-8 letter here records the client's consent to be represented; you still file the actual 64-8 authorisation with HMRC in the normal way.
What if my professional body isn't ICAEW, ACCA or AAT?
Use the general engagement letter template. It covers the same ground in plain English without body-specific wording.
Can I write my own wording?
The templates give you a starting point with the standard clauses in place. Edit any section before sending.
Where do signed contracts end up?
In your practice's document vault, filed against the client automatically, alongside their ID documents and AML evidence.
