From Rumana J & Associates · Consultation preparation guide
Questions that can help you understand the proposed work, the process and your part in it.
What happens next?
Ask what the next step would involve, what information the team needs and who will be your point of contact. A clear process helps you understand how to prepare.
What work does the fee cover?
Ask about the proposed scope, likely fees and how you will be informed if additional work is needed. Make sure you understand the engagement documents before agreeing to proceed.
How will we stay in touch?
Discuss the best way to contact the team and how updates will be shared. Let the firm know if your contact details change or you receive new correspondence.
What should I do after our conversation?
Before the meeting ends, confirm the actions each person will take and any dates discussed. If something is unclear, ask for it to be explained in plain language.
