Tell me what the company is doing, and what is not working.

As much or as little as you like. Four things let me give you a real answer instead of a brochure: what the company does and roughly how big it is, who does the accounting today, what is not working, and by when it has to be fixed.

If you only want a second opinion on something you already suspect, say that instead. The first conversation costs nothing.

If the answer is that you do not need me, I will tell you that, and it will save us both a month.
