Client Q&A

---

Q: We already have internal counsel and an accountant. Why do we need you?
A: We don’t replace legal or tax teams — we bridge them. We help align strategy, compliance, risk, and execution so that internal teams work smarter, faster, and with fewer blind spots.

Q: How are you different from a law firm, CPA, or consultant?
A: We’re structured like a firm, but think like operators. We combine policy fluency, litigation-adjacent insight, and execution support — across legal, financial, and operational silos.

Q: What kinds of problems are clients bringing you right now?
A: SBA audits, litigation prep, HUD and LIHTC compliance, cross-border investment strategy, CMMC readiness, forensic documentation, and exit-readiness diagnostics — often in fast-moving or high-stakes settings.

Q: Will you work with us if our documentation is a mess?
A: Yes — many of our clients engage us when their systems are broken or under pressure. We’re not here to judge — we’re here to bring structure and clarity when it matters most.

Q: Can you come in after a crisis or investigation has already started?
A: Absolutely. We support mid-engagement recovery, audit defense, forensic cleanup, and strategy re-alignment in post-event or active compliance scenarios.

Q: What happens in the first 30 days of working with you?
A: We start with a diagnostic: we assess your current posture, gaps, and risk exposure — then provide a structured plan. No fluff. Just insight you can act on.

Q: What does success look like in your engagements?
A: Better documentation. Fewer surprises. Regulatory readiness. Audit traceability. Clearer board reporting. Clients walk away more defensible, structured, and aligned.

Q: What does “execution support” actually mean?
A: We don’t just advise — we help implement. That may include writing policies, preparing documents, briefing your team, or embedding into your workflow. We’re the link between plan and done.

Q: Who will we actually be working with?
A: You’ll work directly with an experienced advisor — not a junior analyst or faceless account manager. We believe in accountability, consistency, and trust.

Q: Can you handle multi-jurisdictional or international matters?
A: Yes. We support clients across U.S. federal programs, cross-border tax, investment alignment (EB-5, E-2, L-1), and sovereign or sector-specific regulatory needs.

Q: What if our scope changes mid-engagement?
A: We’ll reassess and align before moving forward. No surprise fees, no scope-creep silence. Transparency is part of the structure.

Q: What’s your confidentiality policy?
A: Every engagement is treated as privileged and confidential. We operate under NDA-level standards, and all client data is protected through access-controlled, encrypted systems.

Q: What happens if our inquiry doesn’t lead to an engagement?
A: Nothing changes. All inquiries are treated with confidentiality — and many of our strongest relationships start with a single diagnostic or one-time consult.
