Specimen documents
The document you send,with the shape shown.
Engagement letters, scopes of work and service schedules, written out section by section so you can see where each part goes and how a priced schedule attaches to it. Nothing to sign up for, and nothing hidden behind a form.
What these are, and what they are not
These show structure. They are not model wording, they were not drafted or reviewed by a lawyer, and using one does not satisfy any obligation you have. Where your professional body publishes model wording, use theirs: they review it, they keep it current, and it is written for your profession rather than for a software company’s website.
What is genuinely useful here is the shape. Which sections a document has, which order they go in, where the fees sit, what gets left out and later argued about, and which parts of a pack are signed rather than only read. That is the part every firm rebuilds from the last one that looked close enough, and it is the part this product turns into a template you build once.
The documents
Each one names its jurisdiction, who signs it, and what it is not. Read them in the browser or print them.
Letter of engagement, an accountancy practice
The letter with its schedule of services attached, and the fees shown per cadence rather than as one number.

Not one document but a list: what goes in a starter pack, and which items are signed rather than only read.

There are 5 specimens here and 13 industry pages, and the gap is on purpose. A specimen we cannot write from research would teach a reader their own profession back to them incorrectly, which is worse than not having one, so they arrive one at a time as each is written properly.
In the meantime the industry pages name the three documents each sector sends, and the use-case pages describe the mechanics that are the same whatever the document is called.
