Accounting Tax Advisory Proposal (Three-Tier Engagement Letter)
Risk-first framing plus a three-tier table with an anchored middle option shifts the question from 'should we hire you' to 'which tier do we pick' — classic pricing psychology.
prompt
Write a professional engagement proposal from {firm_name}, an accounting firm, offering tax advisory services to {prospect_company}, a {company_profile}. Format it as a formal engagement letter: a respectful opening referencing the upcoming {tax_deadline} filing season, a 'Current Risks We Observed' section with three plausible pain points for that business type, then a three-tier fee table — Compliance Only, Compliance + Quarterly Advisory, and Full CFO Support — with monthly fees anchored around {base_fee} and the middle tier marked as recommended. End with engagement terms, a confidentiality assurance, and an acceptance signature line. Tone: precise, conservative, trust-building. Output in Markdown, under 500 words.
