Can you promote in r/cpa?
**The subreddit for CPA Candidates** Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Come here if you are looking for guidance to becoming a CPA. Study material suggestions, study tips, clarification on study topics, as well as score release threads. Tags: Certification, Accounts, Tax, Study, Help, Group
The short answer
Do not post about your product or company; instead participate as a regular community member offering neutral, non-promotional help if relevant.
What works here
- answering questions as a community member without promoting a product
- sharing study tips or experience without links or offers
- linking to authoritative non-commercial resources only if clearly allowed by context (be conservative)
What gets posts removed
- posting product launches, demos, or promotional links
- soliciting customers, offering discounts or recruiting via posts or DMs
- offering paid tutoring, selling study materials, or posting referral links
