A&R Quality Advisors is a small consulting firm offering quality audits and advising services to small and mid-sized
manufacturing firms. Quality audits entail reviewing, checking, and documenting quality practices within a firm.
Quality advising entails making recommendations for new or revised quality practices. Other firms in the area offer
one or both of these services, although the competition for quality audit jobs is stronger than for quality advising.
In addition to senior executives, A&R employees are either staff or managers. Staff employees are usually younger
with less experience. Managers, who oversee the staff on jobs, are more experienced. The average hourly wage is
$60 for staff and $150 for managers. (Both staff and managers are paid an annual salary; these hourly costs are
based on 2,000 average annual hours worked.) Staff are expected to spend at least 90 percent of their time on
billable work. Because of administrative work associated with supervising the staff and…
