01

Scope of work

The services we will perform are set out in your engagement letter and, where applicable, your package. Anything not listed there is outside scope. If you ask for work beyond scope we will tell you before we start it and agree the fee with you first.

02

Your responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide complete and accurate records within a reasonable time of us asking
  • Keep the source records required by law — we rely on the information you give us and do not audit it
  • Tell us promptly about changes to your structure, ownership, officeholders or circumstances
  • Review anything we prepare and approve it before we lodge

Where a deadline is missed because information was not provided in time, any resulting penalties or interest are your responsibility.

03

Fees and payment

Fixed-fee packages are billed monthly in advance by direct debit and cover only the services listed. Fees are reviewed annually, and may be reviewed earlier if the size or complexity of your affairs changes materially — we will always discuss it with you before any change takes effect. Ad hoc work is quoted separately. Accounts outstanding beyond 30 days may result in work being paused.

04

Term and cancellation

Engagements run month to month with no lock-in contract. Either party may end the engagement with 30 days' written notice. On termination we will complete any work already paid for, issue a final account for work performed, and provide your records to you or your incoming accountant promptly.

05

Ownership of documents

Original source documents you provide remain your property. Working papers, calculations and internal files created by us remain our property. We will supply copies of lodged returns and financial statements on request. We may exercise a lien over documents in our possession where fees remain unpaid, to the extent permitted by law.

06

Limitation of liability

Our liability is limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. Nothing in these terms excludes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

07

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Questions about them can be directed to office@boldaccounting.com.au or 02 9145 2863.
