Engagement letters that start the work

The short answer LucaLedger handles engagement letters end to end: reusable templates for scope, fee, and terms; in-portal e-signature; and a status workflow from draft to signed. The difference is what happens after the signature, it automatically creates the client's organizer, document requests, and tasks. The engagement letter isn't a dead-end PDF; it's the trigger that kicks off the engagement.

How it works

The signature kicks off the engagement

This is what sets it apart from a standalone e-signature tool. When the client signs, LucaLedger doesn't just file the PDF, it creates the organizer, seeds the document requests, and generates the tasks for that engagement. The work starts itself. With a generic e-signature product, the signed letter is the end of the line; here it's the beginning of the workflow.

What firms used before

Firms typically bolt a proposals/engagement tool (Ignition) and a generic e-signature tool (DocuSign) onto the rest of their stack. Those are fine at signing, but the signature lands in a vacuum, and someone still has to set up the engagement by hand. LucaLedger turns the signature into the first automated step of the work.
