MANDIE SWEAT
@mandiesweat
Tax quality assurance leader improving compliance, accuracy, and team performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Tax Examining Technician and Quality Review leader with extensive experience in operations, quality assurance, and team leadership in high-volume, compliance-focused environments. I lead complex case reviews, maintain accuracy against established procedures, and consistently drive process improvements.
At the IRS, I’ve led teams performing Quality Review (1040X) by distributing and balancing workloads, monitoring progress and productivity, and providing both classroom and on-the-job training. I evaluate performance, identify training needs, manage Quality Review rebuttals with tracking logs, and act as a liaison for escalated cases to ensure timely resolution.
I also served as a Supervisory Tax Examining Technician (Quality Review Detail) where I assigned, directed, and reviewed work, planned schedules and priorities, and resolved employee concerns while handling administrative responsibilities. Earlier roles reinforced my analytical foundation as an SME and OJI instructor, and I’ve built a strong record across related operations—from customer service to Medicaid and Medicare claims processing—always emphasizing compliance, accuracy, and continuous improvement.
