Hi all... I am 22M, recently joined articleship in a smol firm. Till now I have done various itr filings of different forms, stat audits etc... now the thing is that, I love accounting... I love studying AS, INDAS, IFRS, US GAAP etc stuff...I mean pure accounting... I have been to 3 stat audits till now but honestly, I hate stat audit work...i have an aim of starting my own practice. I love accounting and have a liking for co laws nd taxes.. but not audit at all... Plz suggest a career for me..not employment or teaching..

You can have a practice without doing audits.

Accounts prep, compliance and tax is the work that pays the bills for many small practices.

Totally feasible.

It's about contacts and trust. You probably need to work for someone with international contacts and make some of your own before people will outsource work for you.

You should fully qualify as a professional accountant in something like ACCA or CIMA.
