AuditFile** - my default recommendation. Browser-based workpapers, audits/reviews/compilations, built-in audit programs, client portal, and it's one of the very few engagement platforms whose entry plan is actually priced for one person: $149/mo including the first user, 14-day trial. No server, no IT. ([pricing](https://auditfile.com/pricing), [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/136317/AuditFile/))\n\n**2. Suralink** - add this before you add anything else. It handles the PBC request list: clients upload, items get ticked off, nothing lives in email. Document-chasing is the single biggest time sink when you have no staff to delegate it to. ([my-CPE overview](https://my-cpe.com/blogs/audit-software-for-cpa-and-accounting-firms))\n\n**3. Caseware** - the profession's standard, strongest methodology content, best answer if peer review or a recognized framework matters to you.
