Document management for CPAs

Retain your files, your way.

CPA Retain is a document management system built on top of Microsoft SharePoint. Your firm gets a modern DMS for clients, engagements, and workpapers — while every file stays in your own Microsoft 365 tenant.

Core features

Everything a modern DMS should be — without giving up your files.

Client Workspaces

Structured folders per client, entity, and tax year — mapped directly to SharePoint document libraries your firm already owns.

Fast document search

Find any engagement letter, workpaper, or return across every client in seconds — with metadata, tags, full-text search, and AI that surfaces the right document.

E-signatures

Send documents for e-signature using your firm's custom templates — without leaving the workspace. Signed copies file back to the client's SharePoint library.

Advanced PDF editing

Organize documents, combine pages, and mark up PDFs with annotations — advanced editing tools without leaving the workspace.

Custom retention policies

Set retention schedules by document classification to stay compliant with IRS, AICPA, and state rules — with a full audit trail.

Firm-grade security

Inherit your existing Microsoft 365 identity, MFA, and permissions.
