You have access to pitch book? Accenture should have a general license

To answer your question, yes I think it’s normal. Some companies do, some don’t. You can ask targeted questions about revenue, profitability, and growth plans to figure out if its sustainable

Yes, it's normal. They don't want you to know how laughably small your equity is. Generally, startup employees take all the risk with almost none of the reward. Google is your friend here.

Be persistent. Tell them you want to make the most educated decision you can so you’re sure it’s the right fit. Let them know you’re strongly favoring the position, but this is an important part of that decision as you have more than one option (even if the other option is just staying at ACN)

If you have other contacts at the company, try to estimate the value with them

C1, the other employees might have done a better job of triangulating than OP
