Wise advice. We'll be here for you but there are limits to how much we can help. That's because we don't know exactly how you are doing things.
As for justifying the cost to your management, point out that a good consultant will be happy to show you what is being done, how, and why. The value of the skills transfer can exceed the cost of the consultant.

As I've been painfully (and recently) reminded, even an old salt (even a reasonably smart one) can still leave bloody footprints around the "terminal". Sometimes it's what you "know", not what you don't know, that gets you into trouble. Good suggestions have been made, the most important of those, in my experience is peer (or professional) review before, during, and after the task is done.
