Working Together

Thank you for choosing me for your Finance and Operations support. This page gives you information about working with me.

Anti-Money Laundering requirements

As I am a ICB registered Bookkeeper (Registration No: 22812), before I can work with you I will need you to sign my Letter of Engagement which will set out the work that you have asked me to do. I will send this to the lead contact for an electronic signature.

If you haven’t already done so, I need the lead contact to provide information about the business here: Business details form.

I will also need to carry out checks for Anti Money Laundering (AML) purposes which include obtaining Proof of Identity and Address for all relevant personnel.

Anti-Money Laundering checks

As set out in my Letter of Engagement, I need proof of ID and address from all key stakeholders in the organisation. Bookkeeping is a regulated industry and these are required as part of my Anti-Money Laundering obligations. This should include all personnel with access to bank accounts, and to any accounts software.

For this I require a list of all relevant personnel with names, DOB and email addresses which you can add to the Business Details form above.

As most of my work is carried out online, I perform online checks using xama.com

Limited Company

For a Limited Company, I will need ID information for:

• The person who has instructed me
• Directors and Beneficial Owners of the company
• Beneficial owners are the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control 25% or more of a corporation or an entity other than a corporation. In the case of a trust, they are the trustees, the known beneficiaries, and the settlors of the trust

Charitable Company

For a charitable company, I need ID from:

• The person who has instructed me
• Trustees who sign the annual report
• Trustees who are on the bank mandate
• Trustees who are on the finance committee
