THE ADVISORY BUYER’S DESK

# Find an advisor for the decision ahead.

Choose the work you need help evaluating. Each brief combines an operating context, a decision-specific document list, interview questions, and a scope worksheet you can use with prospective advisors.

## A more useful first conversation.

Describe your business, name the next decision, and ask for the work that connects them. These briefs help you prepare an inquiry and compare proposals. They do not establish that a particular tax position applies to you or that a listed firm offers every service.
