Services from Jean-Baptiste Mennetrey, in brief
Three kinds of engagement come up: a question to think through, a project needing support, or documents that need writing up.
Advisory work
Advisory work: framing the question, gathering the facts, writing up the options; the scope excludes legal, tax, audit or investment advice.
Project support
Project support covers agreeing milestones, working alongside your team, reporting progress. Everything else is confirmed in writing first.

A recommendation nobody can follow up on was not finished work. Set out the question and the decision it feeds, and the reply can be specific.
Jean-Baptiste Mennetrey works from City Road in London, taking on consulting engagements and project support for businesses that need a question worked through properly. Each engagement is scoped in writing with a fee before it starts, progress is reported as the work moves, and the findings are written up so they can be read by colleagues who were not in the room.
Before you ask
Questions before you start in the order it happens
Questions that come up before an engagement starts.
How do engagements start?
With a short conversation about the question, then a written scope with a fee before work begins.
Do you give legal or tax advice?
No; that is outside this practice and is referred to a qualified adviser.
What do I get at the end?
A written note setting out the findings and the reasoning, whatever the length of the engagement.
Can you work with our team?
Yes, project support is done alongside your own people rather than in place of them.
