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.
Whether you're beginning your risk assessment, building a complete system of quality management, or simply looking for guidance along the way, support is available at 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?
A complimentary 30-minute introductory call is available to discuss your firm's current progress, answer questions, and determine 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.

Start here. A one-page visual of the whole monitoring year: the four milestones plus the ongoing, event-driven items. The big picture at a glance.
PreviewThe engine of the system. Maps each quality objective to the risks that threaten it, scores them, and links each to the policy or response that addresses it. Preview shows the Governance component.
PreviewThe table of contents for the entire system. Every form, what it's for, its format, and how often you use it, so you can see the full scope and stay organized all year.
PreviewYour project plan for the year. Target dates populate automatically from your quality-management year-end, and status tracks across all four milestones.
PreviewThe recurring partner touchpoint for ongoing and event-driven items: acceptance and continuance, independence, complaints and more. Fillable and partner-signed each quarter.
PreviewCloses the loop. When an inspection surfaces a deficiency, this walks you from finding, to root cause, to severity, to a documented remediation plan.
PreviewAll previews are watermarked samples - 6 of the 60+ documents in the toolkit. The complete system is delivered on purchase.
That's exactly what the complimentary introductory call is for.
I'm also happy to connect you with firms already using the toolkit for a reference.
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, a complimentary 30-minute introductory call is available to discuss your firm's current progress and determine which option is the best fit.
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.
Yes. The introductory call is a complimentary 30-minute conversation to learn about your firm, answer questions, and determine whether the SQMS Risk Assessment Matrix, Complete SQMS Toolkit, hourly consulting, or another approach is the best fit. There is no obligation to move forward.
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.
The SQMS Risk Assessment Matrix and Complete SQMS Toolkit include practical working documents designed to support implementation of SQMS No. 1. The Complete SQMS Toolkit expands on the matrix with 60+ connected PDF, Word, and Excel-based working documents covering implementation, monitoring, annual evaluation, remediation, documentation, and ongoing quality management.
No. The toolkit is intentionally comprehensive, but you are not expected to use every document. Each resource is clearly identified so you can distinguish between documentation required by SQMS No. 1, your firm's policies and procedures, and optional implementation resources. The goal is to help you focus on what applies to your firm while understanding how each piece fits into the overall system.
That's exactly what these resources are designed to support. They help document your firm's System of Quality Management, monitoring activities, remediation process, and annual evaluation in a way that creates a clear and defensible record for peer review. They don't replace professional judgment, but they do provide a practical framework for documenting it.
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.
No. Everything is delivered as PDF, Word, and Excel-based working documents. There is no software subscription, platform, or seat license. Once purchased, the files are yours to use within your firm.
No. The Excel workpapers are designed to be completed, not rebuilt. Dates, formulas, and linked schedules are already in place so you can focus on documenting your firm's system rather than creating spreadsheets from scratch.
