Dear (Client):

This letter is to confirm and specify the terms of our engagement with you and to clarify the nature and

4. Reconcile bank statements
5. Prepare vendor and/or payroll checks for your signature

9. Other bookkeeping services (specify)

Our engagement is limited to the period and the accounting services indicated above. We will not audit
or review your financial statements as those terms are defined in international financial reporting
standards or any other accounting documents and information you provide. We will not verify the data
you submit for accuracy or completeness. Rather, we will rely on the accuracy and completeness of the
documents and information you provide to us.

You are responsible for designing and implementing controls to prevent and detect fraud and informing
us about all known or suspected fraud impacting the company. In addition you are responsible for
identifying and ensuring that the entity complies with applicable laws and regulations.

Our engagement cannot be relied on to disclose errors, irregularities, or illegal acts, including fraud or
embezzlements, that may exist. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management
specifically designated by you, of any material errors that come to our attention and any irregularities or
illegal acts that come to our attention, unless they are clearly inconsequential

In order for us to complete this engagement in a timely and efficient manner we require unrestricted
access to all documents concerning your financial transactions including but not limited to bank
statements, canceled checks, summaries of deposits and sales, a listing of accounts payable and
accounts receivable, leases, loans and any other financial information necessary that impacts your
accounting records. If you keep records in QuickBooks or other accounting software you agree to have
the most current updates, patches etc such that your system will be compatible with the current
operating system standards.

Our fee for these services will be <<$xx>> (per hour or flat fee), plus any out-of-pocket expenses.
Invoices will be rendered monthly and are payable on presentation.
Our maximum liability to you arising for any reason relating to services rendered under this letter shall
be limited to the amount of fees you paid for these services. In the event of a claim by a third party
relating to services under this letter, you will indemnify us from all such claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses, except to the extent determined to have resulted from our intentional or deliberate
misconduct.

If any dispute arises (between/among) the parties hereto, the parties agree first to try in good faith to
settle the dispute through non-binding mediation. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally by the
parties.

The parties agree that, if any dispute cannot be settled through mediation, the dispute may then be
brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, but the matter will ultimately be decided by the court,
sitting without a jury. The parties recognize they have knowingly and voluntarily agreed to waive all
rights to have any such dispute determined by a jury, but otherwise retain all rights afforded under the
applicable civil justice system.

This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder, shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws (enter state or other jurisdiction) (without giving effect to its
provisions on conflict of laws). This Agreement is fully and voluntarily entered into by the Parties. Each
Party states that he, she, or it has read this Agreement, has obtained advice of counsel if he, she, or it so
desired, understands all of this Agreement, and executes this Agreement voluntarily and of his, her, or its
own free will and accord with full knowledge of the legal significance and consequences of this
Agreement.

To confirm that you agree with the services and terms of this engagement, please sign where indicated
at the bottom of this letter and return a signed copy to us. Should you have any questions regarding
these requirements or provisions, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,
