This Chartered Accountant gained Big 4 experience then expanded his father’s practice in Dubai

• Hi! I am Ayush Sharma a qualified Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary from India.
• After qualifying as a CA, I decided to start my career in a Big 4 firm (and not in my Dad’s Auditing and Accounting firm).
• However, after 7 years of working, I decided it was time to move and help my Dad expand his 30-year-old Auditing and Accounting firm.
• In mid-2018, I decided to take the business beyond the border. Here is my story.

My decision to become a Chartered Accountant 

Like most kids, I was unsure of what I wanted to pursue.

For the longest time, I wanted to become an engineer.

One fine day, my dad (who is also a CA) happened to share with me the scope and vastness of the field of Finance. At that very moment, something clicked, and I decided to pursue Commerce and later on, study to become a Chartered Accountant.
