## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-16 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Audit management software" splits into two very different products, and freelancers land in both camps - so here's what I'd actually name, in order, for a one-person **audit/assurance practice** first, then the tax-audit reading at the end.
> 
> ## If you perform audits for clients (solo CPA / contract auditor)
> 
> 1. **AuditFile** - my default pick. It's cloud-based audit workpaper software explicitly aimed at solo practitioners and small firms, with step-by-step audit programs, review notes, trial balance, and a client portal. $149/mo on Professional (first user included; extra users $99), $249/mo for Pro Plus which bundles the Wiley Advantage Audit programs - that bundled methodology content is the real reason to pay up, since a freelancer has no in-house audit manual. 14-day trial.
> 2. **MyWorkpapers (Essential tier)** - the best-value alternative, and the one I'd pick over AuditFile if you're UK/AU/NZ-based. The Essential plan is scoped for firms under 5 users and ~150 clients, so you're not paying for enterprise seats. Cleaner, lighter workpapers than Caseware; pricing is quote-based, so ask directly.
> 3. **Caseware (Cloud / PEG Audit)** - the profession's standard and what reviewers
