Replace 6 tools with one

Most Canadian firms are duct-taping 5–6 apps together and paying for each separately. CertaFlow replaces every one of them — for less than you're paying for just two.

Loved by Canadian accounting firms

Real firms. Real results.

From sole practitioners to multi-partner firms across Canada

"We went from spending 2 hours every Monday chasing deadlines to about 15 minutes. That's nearly 8 hours a month back at senior-CPA rates — CertaFlow pays for itself in week one."

"I tried Jetpack Workflow and a couple of others. CertaFlow is the first tool that actually understands Canadian tax. The CRA deadline generator replaced a spreadsheet I'd been maintaining for 4 years."
