  {q: "How do leadership training programs benefit organizations?", a: "Leadership training gives new and aspiring managers the decision-making and communication skills to lead effectively sooner, which reduces costly management mistakes during the transition into the role."}
];

const GENERAL_FAQS = [
  {q: "What services does SMT Consulting Group provide?", a: "Three areas. Consultancy covers accounting, bookkeeping, tax, payroll, CPA & CFO services and business registration. IT services cover digital marketing, graphics design, e-commerce development, ERP and mobile app development, and SEO. We also run professional and business training programmes."},
  {q: "What size of business do you work with?", a: "From owner-led businesses through to established companies. The scope of work is scaled to what the business actually needs rather than sold as a fixed package."},
  {q: "Do you work with clients outside the United States?", a: "Yes. We work with clients across multiple countries and industries, including power generation, logistics, marine services and industrial gas."},
  {q: "How does an engagement start?", a: "With a consultation. We establish what you're dealing with, tell you honestly whether we're the right fit, and propose a scope only if we are."},
  {q: "Can you take over from our current provider?", a: "Yes. Transitions are routine — we review prior-period work, reconcile opening positions and agree a handover timeline."},
  {q: "Can we use more than one service together?", a: "Yes, and that's often where the value is. Accounting, tax and payroll share the same underlying records, so running them together removes duplication."},
  {q: "How is our financial information protected?", a: "Client financial and business information is treated as confidential and accessed only by team members working on your account, except where disclosure is legally required."},
  {q: "What are your business hours?", a: "Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. You can reach us by email, phone or WhatsApp."},
  {q: "How do you price your services?", a: "Pricing depends on scope — the number of transactions, entities, employees or deliverables involved. We give a clear quote after the initial consultation rather than a generic rate card, so you know exactly what's included before work starts."},
  {q: "Do you offer ongoing support or only one-off projects?", a: "Both. Accounting, bookkeeping, payroll and CFO advisory are typically ongoing monthly engagements. IT services such as website builds or ERP implementation are usually project-based, with an optional maintenance arrangement afterward."},
  {q: "How quickly can you start working with us?", a: "Once scope and terms are agreed, most consultancy engagements begin within one to two weeks. IT and development projects start once requirements are documented, which we can usually complete within the same timeframe."},
  {q: "Who will actually handle our account?", a: "You are assigned a lead contact for your engagement who coordinates the specialists working on it — an accountant, a tax preparer, a developer or a marketer — so you have one point of contact rather than several."},
  {q: "Do you sign confidentiality or service agreements?", a: "Yes. Every engagement is covered by a written agreement setting out scope, fees, confidentiality and responsibilities before any work begins."},
  {q: "What software or systems do you work with?", a: "We work across commonly used accounting, payroll and ERP platforms and can advise on the right fit for your business rather than requiring you to adopt a specific tool."}
