Description

The Independent Contractor Bookkeeping Agreement serves as a formal contract between an employer and an independent bookkeeper outlining the scope of duties, confidentiality obligations, compensation, and termination provisions. The document specifies that the bookkeeping services are to be provided at will, and emphasizes the importance of confidentiality regarding the employer's financial information. Key features include a clear delineation of duties, compensation structure, and the independent contractor's status, which ensures that the bookkeeper is responsible for their own taxes and benefits. Filling and editing instructions are straightforward, as users must complete sections regarding details such as the employer's name, the start date, and compensation terms. This form is particularly useful for legal professionals like attorneys and paralegals who may need to draft agreements for clients, and for business partners or owners who wish to outline clear expectations with contractors. It provides legal protection to both parties by ensuring clarity in expectations and obligations, while also offering a professional format that is easy to read and understand.
