Need QA help through the year? Plan it once.
If you don't have a full-time QA specialist, or yours needs support, I can take on agreed tasks on a schedule: internal audits, document reviews, supplier re-approvals, corrective action follow-up and notes on regulatory changes. I can also act as your designated SQF practitioner or QA lead on contract.
A monthly subscription, set by the number of site days you need. Site visits are within Saskatoon.
Who it's for
- Smaller teams without a dedicated QA person.
- A site that needs a designated SQF practitioner or QA lead.
- A QA lead who needs specialist support for audits or documentation.
- Sites that only look at the system just before an audit.
- Businesses between certification audits that want to stay ready.

How the work runs
Understand
Your standards, your team and where the system tends to slip.
Assess
What has to happen through the year, and how often.
Build
A calendar of agreed tasks, with who does what.
Hand over
Short reports after each task, so the record stays with you.
Staff training is available for every module and record. It's scoped with any follow-up verification, so you only pay for what you need.
What's required, and what's optional
Rules, certification requirements and good practice aren't the same thing. Here's how they separate for this kind of work.
- Regulation
- SFCR licence holders keep their PCP and records current, and keep records for two years.
- Certification schemes
- Schemes require internal audits, management review and verification at set frequencies.
- Good practice
- Small, regular checks are easier than a scramble before each audit.
- What I do
- Specialist time when the calendar calls for it, without adding headcount.
Common questions
More in the full FAQ.
Who can take care of our yearly QA tasks?
Start with a calendar of what your standards require: internal audits, verification, reviews and re-approvals. Then decide which tasks your team keeps and which you hand to a specialist.
Is this the same as outsourcing our whole QA department?
No. I can act as your SQF practitioner or QA lead on contract, but if you need a whole team of experts, reach out to Nexsure, our team-based brand.
