Guidance required for career as ca in practice.

254 views 5 replies
Dear co-members, I am writing to get input from all members regarding career in practice. As we all know that CA practice is a hand-in-hand profession, we are mentors among the group, the colleagues sharing same platform and we all represent the ICAI. After Completing CA in Nov 2012 attempt I have 3yrs post-qualification experience as Credit Manager in ICICI and HDFC Bank. I have taken Full-time COP recently, in March 2016 and planning to proceed with my proprietorship firm shortly. Please suggest me, weather I should assist some running CA firms so as to brush my knowledge, to cover the laps of 3years, please advice me the ways to brush my knowledge. Also, I would really appreciate if anybody could refer my profile to their known Chartered Accountants running vintage firms so that I can learn about work and healthy way of running practice. Thanks and Regards CA Pallavi Dang

Hi,

(These are my personal views based on what i have seen and do not want to demotivate you at all) 

Since you have decided to move to practice, i believe you must have done sufficient research on it like the pros and cons etc. Practice looks more lucrative when we are in job but grass is always greener from the other side.

So before switching, give proper thought what you are doing and what do you want to do. Don't get biased by anyone else views.

Once you switch from job to practice, initially you may face a lot of issues e.g. no fixed cash flows or even no cash flow for some time, hunting for clients because friends and colleagues who motivate you saying that they will definitely help you in finding clients and assignment work suddenly disappears or they will say at that time we were having something but now nothing and trying to help you. So be ready that its you who has to take all the pain.

Secondly, once you get clients, its really a big task to get your fee after providing services. People will say we will give today or tomorrow and so on.

so many issues are there, you have to be keep yourself motivated all the time.

However, lots of benefits are also there like you will be your boss and you can work in your own fashion.

To get experience, you can associate with some ca firms on retainership basis. In this process you will get experience as well as bright chances to have clients.

Increase your social network that will really help. Since you are working as credit manager it will also help you.

All the best for your new venture!
