Professional Bookkeeping Contracts You Can Trust
At Audit Consulting Group, we believe in building financial relationships on a solid foundation. That’s why every client starts with a clear, fair, and fully transparent bookkeeping contract. Whether you’re looking for a trustworthy bookkeeping service agreement, or simply want to preview a sample contract for bookkeeping services, this page will show you exactly what to expect—and why it matters. What Is a Bookkeeping Contract? A bookkeeping contract is a written agreement between your business and our firm. It outlines the services we’ll provide, how often, what we charge, and the responsibilities on both sides. It protects you, ensures we meet expectations, and creates a reliable framework for long-term collaboration. What’s Included in Our Bookkeeping Service Agreement Every bookkeeping service agreement we provide includes:
- ✅ Clear list of services
- ✅ How often we deliver reports (weekly, monthly, quarterly)
- ✅ Who’s responsible for what (you vs us)
- ✅ Transparent pricing and billing terms
- ✅ Data protection and confidentiality (GDPR-compliant)
- ✅ How to cancel or change the agreement
- ✅ Legal jurisdiction (UK law)
Why Every Business Needs a Bookkeeping Contract Even small businesses benefit from a clear, written bookkeeping contract. It helps avoid:
- ❌ Misunderstandings about deliverables
- ❌ Unclear payment terms
- ❌ Missed deadlines or expectations
- ❌ Data security risks
- ❌ Scope creep or hidden fees
We’ve helped dozens of UK companies formalise their financial processes with simple, readable contracts.
