06 February 2014 In my view with CA, CS will make a very good combination. By having both qualification you will have comprehensive knowledge in the field of Finance as well as corporate law and secretarial part. So this combination makes you more versatile. Job opportunities will be more. So be assured of a rewarding career with this combination in any scenario.
