You will want to ask your potential external advisers several key questions to ensure that they are a good fit with you personally and with your company. You not only need to assess their experience and skill level, but also softer skills, such as communication style and availability. Here’s a starting list of questions to ask:

• How long have you been doing this type of work?

• How many other clients similar to my company do you deal with?

• Can you describe your background and training?

• On what basis will you be billing me?

• Do you prefer face-to-face meetings or telephone calls or e-mail?

• Can you provide me with references?

• How do you see your role in helping my company?

As you evaluate the answers to these questions, you will also be assessing your comfort level with these professionals. Always trust your intuition. You will have to work with these advisers for many years to come, and it’s imperative that you feel comfortable with them.
