Why build your own CPA Ontario deck

Preparing for CPA Ontario exams means covering a large volume of technical material, and a generic set of cards rarely matches what your course actually emphasizes. CPA Ontario flashcards made from your own lecture notes, readings and practice material keep your review tied to the content you will be tested on.

  • Upload notes, slides, PDFs or photos of textbook pages
  • Review and edit every card before you start studying
  • Schedule reviews with spaced repetition across all your decks
  • Export to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX on a paid plan
Example CPA Ontario flashcards on accounting topics
What is the basic accounting equation?Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
What does the going concern assumption state?An entity is assumed to continue operating long enough to realize its assets and settle its liabilities in the normal course of business.
What is the matching principle?Expenses are recorded in the same period as the revenues they helped generate.
How does the quick ratio differ from the current ratio?The quick ratio excludes inventory and prepaid items, so it measures short-term liquidity using assets closer to cash.
When is a provision recognized rather than disclosed as a contingent liability?A provision is recognized when an outflow is probable and can be reliably estimated; otherwise a possible obligation is generally disclosed only.

Built from your material

Upload your own notes, slides, PDFs, DOCX files or photos of pages, and DeckOwl creates cards from that content.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so you spend your review time on the topics that need it most.

Study in the browser

Review cards on any device with a browser. The free plan lets you study online, and paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.

How it works

Upload your study material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of the pages you are studying for your CPA Ontario program.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards DeckOwl made, edit anything unclear, and remove cards you do not need.

Study with spaced repetition

Work through your deck daily. Cards scheduled by spaced repetition return at the right time for review.

DeckOwl reads your uploads and turns key terms, rules and worked-example steps into question and answer cards. You can then focus on the areas where your recall is weakest, using spaced repetition to schedule reviews over the weeks leading up to your exams.

Start with one module or one set of notes so you can judge the cards before building a larger deck. If you want a copy of your deck outside the browser, paid plans include exports to Anki and CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for a CPA Ontario module?

Start with one chapter or one set of notes and aim for the key terms, rules and formulas in that section. Many students find that a focused deck of a few dozen cards is easier to review daily than one very large deck.

Should I study CPA Ontario material with flashcards or practice questions?

Use both. Flashcards build recall of definitions, standards and formulas, while practice questions test whether you can apply them. DeckOwl can also generate quizzes from the same notes.

Can I try DeckOwl for free?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exporting decks is a paid feature.

Do students get a discount?

Students with a school email get 40% off. Plus costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, and Pro costs $14.99 per month.
