Options after ca

Hi,

In CCI a frequently asked question is what are the options available after/with CA or CS? So please find below some suggestions.

There are many courses which you can pursue with CA or CS. However the choice and decision depends upon many factors like one’s own interest, cost, duration, time devotion etc. depending upon your circumstances.

In this regard I’d suggest you to explore your own interest and then decide what you want to do in future.

SOME OF THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE ARE:

1. CS, ICWA, CFA (US), CMA (UK). These are long term duration with more than 3 years.
2. CPA, CFP, CIA, CISA etc. are medium term duration depending upon the devotion and your level of knowledge.
3. Further there are many certification programmes like, CIFRS, NCFM, CMA (US) etc. NCFM course is conducted by the Indian Stock Exchanges and concerned with security market.

The combination of CA+CFA is good in case the interest is for Investment banking and Portfolio Management.

The combination of CA+CPA is also a good one in case interest is in Accounting and Auditing field.

The Combination of CA+CS is also good. With this combination you will be able to handle Secretarial deptt along with Account and finance deptt. It is also very helpful to take top chances to work with top management.

Also focus on the opinion below:

In today’s time ICAI membership only is not enough. To improve the chances of getting quick job after receiving ICAI membership following practical things is necessary to be considered:

1. More than basic understanding of accounting.
2. Good knowledge of ERP, Tally, SAP, IFRS, MIS working environment.
3. Understanding of working as a finance part.
4. Good and practical knowledge of Taxation.

Students preparing for CS course and want to join some additional course can go for LL. B.

My best wishes are always with you. Be humble and be successful.

All the best

what option after ca+cisa

Hi Amit, First of all I really appreciate the fact that you are thinking of options available after C.A.

See, as ppl say ofcourse clearing exams is the priority, but I totally agree that we must plan for future.

The very fact that you are saying that earnings are not your only focus means, you are really concerned about job satisfaction along with a good pay.Well, I would say that this period between exams & result declaration is the best time to decide your future.Just analyse your own interests peacefully.Whatever you pursue in future must be at  its best

.You must understand whats your area of "core competency", that is the one which will give you happiness and challenge along with work.It could be anything like Practice,Teaching,Consultancy etc. You should comlpete your GMCS course there you will get lots of hints from good faculty, but Ultimate decison must be yours.This is my personnel opinion, and ya All the Best for Future....!

Thanks for sharing...

I simply dont understand why CA+CPA. Both are accounting courses. Want to settle in india, then do CA. I dont understand CPA. Can you go and settle down in USA after CPA. God only know. Why we need to duplicate same study rather one should do cpa alone which is quicker and better than CA. 

CA and CFA: God only should know about the companies asking for CFA and CA combo. If they need an accountant, do CA. If they need a financial analyst, then do CFA.

And the big question is why people want to study more after CA. Do CA or other course. Why both? Any way you can work only in one field.

IIT+IIM+CFA: God........Why this person do engineering and then MBA and the financial analyst.  He remembers only one course and that too not so sure. And finally he becomes a writer or put a business.

Unless you are confused and so keep your options till the end of your career.........decide on your passion and go ahead.

I got a question.........how a person can be passionate about accounts or finance or anything for that matter without doing it.................Think again
