S.C. Code Ann. § 40-2-55
A certified public accountant may charge a contingency fee or commission, or both, for performing services under this chapter if the client and the certified public accountant enter into a separate written contract, executed by both parties, specifying the terms of the contingency fee or commission, or both, for each transaction to be conducted. No contingency fee or commission is payable or enforceable in the absence of a clearly executed written contract.
