Built for small and mid-sized CPA firms implementing and maintaining their System of Quality Management. Whether you're just beginning the risk assessment or building your complete system, resources are available for every stage of implementation.
Designed for firms beginning their SQMS risk assessment.
Rather than starting from a blank page, begin with a structured working document designed to streamline one of the most time-consuming parts of SQMS implementation.
The matrix brings together quality objectives, example quality risks, policies and procedures, and suggested monitoring considerations into a single working document that can be tailored to your firm's unique system of quality management.
Your time is valuable. Spend it on decisions, not formatting.
The value of the matrix is not reducing the professional judgment required by SQMS No. 1. It's reducing the administrative work of organizing quality objectives, documenting risks, cross-referencing and reconciling guidance, and documenting policies and procedures so you can focus your time where it matters most.
Designed for sole practitioners and small to mid-sized CPA firms with centralized leadership. Not intended for large regional firms with decentralized leadership structures.
Not sure where to begin?
Email me about your firm's current progress and I'll help you work out whether the SQMS Risk Assessment Matrix, Complete SQMS Toolkit, hourly consulting, or another approach is the best fit.
Designed for firms building and maintaining their complete System of Quality Management.
Build your firm's System of Quality Management once, then maintain it year after year with a connected set of practical PDF, Word, and Excel-based working documents designed to support implementation, monitoring, annual evaluation, remediation, and ongoing quality management.
Every document is designed to work together as a practical system rather than a collection of standalone templates.
The toolkit clearly identifies which documents are required by SQMS No. 1, which represent your firm's policies and procedures, and which are optional implementation resources. You aren't expected to use every document. The goal is to help you focus on what applies to your firm while understanding how each piece fits into the overall system.
Designed to be completed once and maintained year after year as your firm evolves.

It depends on where your firm is in the SQMS implementation process. SQMS Risk Assessment Matrix - best for firms beginning their SQMS risk assessment and looking for a structured starting point. Complete SQMS Toolkit - designed for firms building and maintaining their complete System of Quality Management. Hourly Consulting - available at any stage if you'd like guidance, feedback, or another perspective on your firm's documentation or implementation approach. If you're unsure, email me about where your firm is and I'll tell you which one fits.
That's perfectly fine. Many firms already have documentation in place before reaching out. Some are looking for feedback on their risk assessment, others need help with monitoring or the annual evaluation, and some simply want another perspective before peer review. The SQMS Risk Assessment Matrix, Complete SQMS Toolkit, and hourly consulting are designed to meet firms wherever they are in the implementation process.
No. Hourly consulting is available whether you purchase the SQMS Risk Assessment Matrix, the Complete SQMS Toolkit, or neither. Some firms simply want another perspective on documentation they've already prepared or help thinking through a specific implementation question.
Yes. Many firms begin with the documentation and then schedule hourly consulting to tailor it to their firm, review completed documentation, discuss implementation decisions, or prepare for peer review.
