Technical Quality Manager Jobs in Oregon, WI (NOW HIRING)

Help shape the quality behind every audit.

Are you an experienced audit professional who enjoys being the person others turn to for answers? Do you have a strong technical foundation, an eye for quality, and an interest in making an impact beyond your own portfolio of engagements?

SVA is looking for a Quality Manager to join our CPA practice in Madison, Wisconsin. This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible role that influences how our assurance teams work, learn, and deliver exceptional service to clients.

Working closely with our Director of Quality Management and Assurance Service Line Leader, you'll help strengthen our firm's quality management practices, perform engagement quality reviews, guide teams through complex accounting and auditing matters, and help translate evolving professional standards into practical resources our people can use.

If you enjoy the technical side of assurance but also want to teach, influence, improve processes, and help others succeed, this could be a great next step in your career.

• Perform Engagement Quality Reviews for assurance engagements, with particular emphasis on engagements performed under Government Auditing Standards, including HUD, USDA-RD, and Single Audits.
• Research complex accounting and auditing matters and provide clear, practical guidance to assurance professionals.
• Monitor new accounting and auditing standards and help determine how changes should be implemented across the firm.
• Support the firm's ongoing compliance with GAGAS/Yellow Book requirements.
• Serve as a Qualified Reviewer or Assurance Manager on client engagements as needed and as capacity allows.

• Partner with the Director of Quality Management to implement and maintain the firm's Quality Management Policies and Procedures (QMPP).
• Help plan and execute internal inspections and external peer reviews, including documentation and follow-up.
• Identify opportunities to improve assurance quality, consistency, and efficiency.
• Help develop and maintain practice aids, tools, templates, and other resources that make it easier for our teams to do great work.

• Help maintain and enhance SVA's Assurance Resources library, intranet, and Teams resources.
• Translate technical standards into practical information that assurance teams can understand and apply.
• Participate in and lead internal training and development initiatives.
• Contribute to CPE programming and SVA's annual Accounting & Auditing Update.
• Serve as an accessible technical resource and thought partner for assurance professionals across the firm.

You'll be successful in this role if you bring:

• CPA license required
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related business field; master's degree preferred
• 7+ years of audit experience in public accounting
• Strong knowledge of audit methodology, documentation, and engagement review
• Experience with Government Auditing Standards and Single Audits strongly preferred
• Ability to research and interpret complex accounting and auditing guidance
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to make technical concepts understandable
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to professional ethics and quality
• Ability to prioritize competing responsibilities and meet deadlines
• A collaborative mindset and genuine interest in helping other professionals grow and succeed
• Comfort working independently while partnering closely with assurance leaders and engagement teams

This isn't a traditional client-service Manager position.

You'll have the opportunity to use your audit experience to influence the entire assurance practice—helping our teams navigate technical questions, strengthening our quality processes, improving the resources our professionals rely on, and preparing the firm for what's next.

It's an opportunity to remain deeply connected to the profession while expanding your impact from individual engagements to the broader practice.

This position is based onsite at SVA's Madison, Wisconsin office. Being together with our assurance professionals is an important part of this role, allowing the Quality Manager to build relationships, collaborate in real time, and serve as an accessible resource to our teams.

Occasional travel to other SVA offices may be required.

If you're a CPA who enjoys digging into the technical details, raising the bar on quality, and helping other professionals do their best work, we'd like to meet you.
