How a consultation works

  1. Share your requirement

    Call or email with a brief description of your matter and the professional you would like to consult.

  2. Confirm the appointment

    The team will confirm the appropriate professional, availability, consultation format, scope and fee before booking.

  3. Prepare for the conversation

    Gather the relevant records and list your questions so the discussion stays focused on your priorities.

  4. Agree on the next step

    Discuss your options and decide whether you need a further consultation or a separate professional engagement.

What to expect from the discussion

Use the discussion to clarify the records required, identify outstanding accounting or tax questions and agree on an appropriate next step. Return filing, ongoing bookkeeping, audit and certification services should be scoped separately.
