Document background
The Accounting Retainer Agreement is a crucial document used when establishing an ongoing professional relationship between an accounting firm and a client in Canada. This agreement is particularly relevant when clients require regular, recurring accounting services rather than one-off engagements. The document complies with provincial accounting regulations, federal privacy laws, and professional standards set by Canadian accounting bodies. It typically includes comprehensive details about service scope, fee structures, professional obligations, confidentiality requirements, and liability provisions. The agreement is designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring transparency in the professional relationship and compliance with Canadian legal and professional requirements.
