12 August 2013 Hi ,

I cleared my CA in Nov 2011 in 2nd attempt During article ship, most of my exposure was taxation from mid sized firm.
I worked as an associate in statutory audit in one of top 20 firms in India for almost 1 year.
Much Recently ( around 3 months )i switched my job in mutual fund accounting in foreign bank,but i want to change my profile again due to health and timing issues and i want to do some post qualification course which will be beneficial abroad. Please guide me about jobs in taxation, whether there is a chance to switch in taxation and AICPA is good course after CA ?

Thanks and Regards

15 August 2013 First of all - do invest a lot of time deciding whether you are sure you want to pursue a career in taxation. Frequent switches do not reflect well on the individual.

Identify one or two areas that attract you within taxation and start studying those - along with relevant courses.

You can apply to a tax specialist CA ot law firm. Or you could apply to the Tax department of a large corporate. At this point, it is better to work in a large corporate facing complex tax issues as you will learn more. After 5-7 years you could switch to a smaller organisation as Head of Tax.
