Why build your own CPA flashcards

Ready-made CPA exam flashcards are easy to find, but they seldom follow the exact standards, wording or problem types in the materials you are actually using. DeckOwl builds a deck from your own PDFs, slides and notes, so each card reflects what you will be tested on.

Cards come from your own review course, textbook or lecture notes
Spaced repetition schedules review of the cards you find hardest
Quiz questions with explanations help you practice applying the rules
Plus users can export decks to Anki or CSV to study elsewhere

Example CPA exam flashcards (FAR and AUD topics)

What is the accounting equation?Assets equal liabilities plus equity. It is the basis of double-entry bookkeeping.

Under ASC 330, how is inventory generally measured?At the lower of cost or net realizable value, so losses are recognized when market value falls below cost.

What does SOX Section 404 require?Management must assess internal control over financial reporting, and auditors of accelerated filers must attest to that assessment.

What is the formula for the current ratio?Current assets divided by current liabilities. It measures a company's ability to cover short-term obligations.

What are the components of the audit risk model?Inherent risk, control risk and detection risk. Audit risk equals the product of these three components.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart, so review time goes where it is needed.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations, or into a mind map of the topic.

How it works

Upload your study files

Add the PDF, slides, notes or page photos from your CPA review course or textbook.

Generate and check the cards

Review the flashcards the AI makes, and edit or remove any that do not match your course.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in the browser each day, and let spaced repetition set the order of review.

Flashcards work best for definitions, formulas, journal entries and standards that you need to recall quickly. Pair them with practice questions, and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss before exam day.

Frequently asked questions

How should I use CPA exam flashcards each day?

Keep sessions short and review a mix of new and previously missed cards. Use the spaced repetition schedule so that difficult cards return more often than the ones you already know.

Which CPA exam topics suit flashcards best?

Flashcards work well for definitions, formulas, journal entries, and rules from standards such as GAAP and auditing guidance. Topics that require long calculations or judgment are better practiced with full problems alongside the cards.

Is there a free plan for generating CPA flashcards?

The free plan includes 5 generations a week and studying in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan.

Can I export my CPA flashcards to Anki or CSV?

Yes, exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX are available on the Plus plan, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. Students can get 40% off with a school email.
