"Big4 Articled CA(SA)'s are stronger than Small and Mid-Tier Articled CA(SA)'s" I've heard this statement from both clients and candidates. Do you believe it is accurate, or is it total rubbish? I believe this bold-faced statement to be false, so why might you hear this idea from an employer or candidate? When the opportunity is a technical Reporting Accountant in a listed insurance company, you can be sure that a Big4 CA is considered to be stronger than any other for this role specifically. Equally, when the opportunity is a Financial Manager of a owner-managed SME in the retail sector, the Small to Mid-Tier CA's are likely to be considered the stronger candidates for the role. The point is, there is a place for every CA in the market, but where you choose to do your articles may impact the direction of your career. In my next post I will outline the different paths you can take for articles, namely Big4, Small-Mid-Tier and TOPP, and highlight the differences to better assist aspiring CA's to choose the path that best suits them. Candidates, employers, CA's, non CA's - please help me! I would love opinions on this subject from everyone who has one. There are no wrong answers!

Happy CA day to all the CAs and CA aspirants. It’s been almost 2 years since I cleared CA. Do I like it? The journey hasn’t been easy. But still, I love it. People used to say that after CA, life would be sorted. You won’t have to worry about anything. But the real battle starts after you clear it. This battle is for everyone whether he or she is in practice or a job. For some, this battle is to sustain; for others, it is to outdo others. In the last 2 years, I have seen myself growing. Not just mentally but also in my business sense. I have spent sleepless nights, cried for hours, depressed for days. But despite all this, I never gave up. I smiled, celebrated and even motivated myself. Whatever happened, I never had even a single thought of giving up on my business. I love this growth process; seeing my business grow every minute gives me happy sleep. Happy CA day! #caday #happycaday #charteredaccountant #accountingandbookkeeping

✅ Whether a newly qualified CA should join a small and mid-size CA firm as a career choice. ✔ Different people have different aspirations and professionals are no different. Some may think that joining a small and mid-size firm for initial 2-3 years may be right but making a career in that firm may not be feasible. ➰ The opinion may seem right but exceptions are always there. ✔ In the year 2018, I encountered a Chartered Accountant who initially completed his articleship at a small/mid-sized firm. After qualifying as a CA, he moved on to a different Company. However, 4-5 years later, he returned to the same CA firm, this time as a Partner. ☑ When I inquired about the reason behind this decision, the CA explained that ▶ The firm handles a significant volume of outsourced work from foreign countries, and there is strong potential for growth. ▶ The Senior CA has substantial amount of work coming through his strong network. ▶ The senior CA is a proprietor and has no one to succeed his practice. At most he can sell his practice at some point of time. ▶ There is more flexibility in terms of office hours and control over operations. ♂ It’s now more than 8 years and the CA is still there managing almost entire practice. He is financially more stable than most of the counterparts. Have you seen any such example in your CA journey? If yes, please share with us. Follow CA. Devender Pandey 🇮🇳 for more. ✌

I strongly believe that people who left CA at CA final level, should not market themselves in the corporate world as CA Inter or Semi-qualified CA, rather they should get a complete degree like MBA, ACCA, CPA, etc. Applying job with complete degrees increases your power of negotiation and gives another level of confidence. #CA #Job #Finance #audit #tax

After the CA Final results were announced on 9th Jan'24 I was happy, ofcourse I would be. For 2-3 days, I forgot everything in life except that I became a CA. After few days, I was not feeling good and was not feeling like doing anything! Sounds weird? I don't know the reason! 1️⃣ I started applying to kickstart my career as a CA Fresher but not that rigorously. - It's not because I was not getting any response. - I'm getting calls daily for the interview's. 2️⃣ I wanted to write but I haven't posted anything since last few days on LinkedIn. - It's not because I don't have anything to share. - I have lot of content ideas right now. Then what's the issue? I'm also figuring out! There can be lot of things a person might be going through but we never know. 1) Stress 2) Anxiety 3) Overthinking 4) Health problems 5) Emotional breakdown And the list is never ending! It's ok to sit back, think and analyse what's going wrong! Take time! Take breaks! Have patience! Everything will be fine! Everything will fall in place! Happens with you? P.S. Just clicked on "start post" option and felt like writing this. Follow Shubhi Bansal
