Why Finance & Accounts (F&A) ?

Growth Potential – Chance to work with

Business Heads Understand Business

Operations Clearly defined career path F&A is a vast domain – Keep

Learning and Growing

Job Security – Every organization needs F&A !

High earning Potential – Can even do consulting /freelancing. Internet has further widened possibilities

What we hear in F&A Depts. of Companies

Equip yourself with the Right Knowledge to avoid this happening to YOU!

I am not using what I was taught. I am given

odd jobs

I wish my basics were stronger

I am treated like a Novice

I feel nervous to ask questions

Page 5: Sound Basics

Life in F&A if you are not a qualified & competent CA !

Choose the Right tools to Succeed!

Constant struggle to get exposure to quality work

Nervous and defensive while dealing with higher ‘qualified’ peers because of Confusion in fundamental concepts leading to Low Confidence

Seen as novices - assigned low-end F&A tasks.

It takes forever – often up to 10 years of working - to get a reasonably well rounded work experience. CAs get it easier !

A Working Accountant with Strong Fundamentals and Sound Practical Knowledge and Skills can perform far better than several of his higher qualified peers

Expected to work much harder to compensate for lack of knowledge!

Page 6: Sound Basics

Life as a CA Aspirant/Article Trainee

Equip yourself to clear all hurdles in this race!

CA gives you great career prospects -but clearing the exams is just one part

Quality Article Training with Good firms can give a head start to a CA’s career

Article Training poses major challenges to those who do not have strong fundamentals

Fresh Article clerks are seen as novices with low confidence and are hence assigned unimportant tasksA candidate with well rounded practical knowledge would be welcome by all good CA firms, and assigned important and interesting tasks from Day 1!

Page 7: Sound Basics

Do you have what it takes to succeed?What the Industry

needs?What most university

courses give you!

Practical skills, and not merely bookish knowledge

Courses that are disconnected from the practical needs of the industry

Absolute Clarity on the Key & Essential Concepts of F&A

Covers a large number of topics with limited job value. The focus on basics gets lost due to this

Individuals who can deliver with Confidence from Day 1

Most graduates lack industry knowledge and practical expertise which leads to low confidence & nervousness

Bridge this gap to succeed in your Career!
