New Client Proposal and Fee Quote Letter

About this document

What it’s for

A proposal letter to send after a first meeting or enquiry. It confirms your understanding of the prospect’s needs, recommends services, sets out clear package and fee options, explains what is and is not included, and tells them exactly how to get started. It is not the contract – the engagement letter follows acceptance.

When to use it

  • After a discovery call or meeting with a prospective client
  • When quoting for a change of accountant
  • When an existing client asks for a quote for a new service

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • What you told us
  • What we recommend
  • Your options
  • One-off costs
  • What is included and what is not
  • How we will get started
  • Why [FIRM NAME]
  • This quote

How to complete it

  • Write the “what you told us” section in the client’s own terms
  • Offer two or three packages, with the recommended one first
  • Make sure every fee shown matches your fee schedule
  • Set a validity date for the quote
