Tools for your own clients are on the way.

We're building software for running your own clients' filings, with document collection, reminders and prepared drafts. It isn't available yet. When it launches it will be optional, priced at a fixed fee and never as a share of what you charge your clients. Tick the box on the application if you'd like to hear when it's ready.

Questions

Straight answers for CAs.

Is this allowed under the ICAI Code of Ethics?

The Code of Ethics (13th edition, in force from 1 April 2026), para 3.5, says members may not list themselves with app-based aggregators for services exclusively reserved for chartered accountants, and that there is no restriction for non-exclusive services. The Partner Network covers only non-exclusive work: returns, GST, TDS, bookkeeping, registrations and notice replies. Claw pays you a fixed fee for each job as your client, so there is no sharing of fees or profits with a non-member under Clauses (2) and (3) of Part I of the First Schedule. Customers see you only as "CA" with your name, with no contact details or achievements, in line with para 3.4. We still recommend you read the Code yourself, and we are happy to share the agreement with your own adviser before you sign.

Do I pay anything to join or to get work?

No. There is no joining fee, no subscription for the Partner Network and no fee for jobs. Software for your own clients is planned for later and will be separate and optional.

Who owns the client?

Customers who buy through Claw are Claw's customers, and you work on their orders as Claw's professional. Your own clients stay yours. Claw never contacts or sells to them.

Can I do audits or certificates through Claw?

No. Claw doesn't sell, price or arrange audits or certificates as partner work. Separately, Claw offers customers a paid search that shortlists practising CAs for that work, chosen only on the customer's needs and from all CAs, registered with Claw or not. If you're shortlisted, nobody pays you or charges you for it, and the engagement and fee are between you and the client.

Is the fee affected by the outcome?

No. Your fee is fixed per job and is never contingent on findings or results. If Claw gives a customer a refund under its own deadline promise, Claw bears that cost, not you, unless the delay was caused by a breach of the agreement.

Do Claw's learning sessions give CPE hours?

Claw is not an ICAI programme organising unit, so it cannot award structured CPE. Learning sessions may count toward unstructured CPE under ICAI's rules, which you record yourself.
