How to build CPA flashcards for Anki

Candidates studying for the CPA exam often want Anki CPA flashcards that cover FAR, AUD, and REG in one deck, but a generic set rarely matches the course they are taking. Generating cards from your own lecture slides and review book keeps the wording and examples aligned with what you will be tested on.

  • Upload your own review notes instead of relying on a generic list of terms.
  • Keep each card to one fact, rule, or journal entry.
  • Review in short daily sessions rather than cramming the week before the exam.
  • Export to Anki on Plus if you want the same cards on other devices.

Spaced repetition

Cards return on a schedule that spaces reviews out as you recall them, so earlier topics stay fresh before exam day.

Anki export on Plus

The Plus plan exports your cards to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX, and CSV, so you can keep one review routine across devices.

How it works

Upload

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or image of your CPA review notes.

Generate

DeckOwl reads the text and writes question and answer cards for each section you upload.

Review

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.

Start with one section at a time. Short, specific cards about a single rule, formula, or journal entry are easier to recall than long paragraphs, so check each generated card and split any that ask two things.

After the first pass, use spaced repetition to review cards just before you would forget them. Pair the flashcards with quizzes so you practice applying a rule to a problem, not only recalling it.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make per CPA topic?

Aim for enough cards to cover each rule or journal entry once. Quality matters more than volume, so drop any card that asks two things at once.

Should I memorize CPA flashcards word for word?

No. Use each card to recall the concept, then confirm you can apply it to a problem. Answers that explain why a rule applies help more than memorized wording.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, which also includes PDF, DOCX, and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
