- Hi, I am Pankaj Makkar. I was born and brought up in Delhi, India, and moved to Canada in 2005.
- I am a Chartered Accountant from India and went on to pursue a CPA from Colorado and a CPA from Canada as well. (CPA license from Colorado is currently expired).
- I am also Six Sigma Green Belt Certified from GE which really helped me throughout my career to be process-oriented and identify and remove Non-Value-add work from any process.
- In 2018, after working in the corporate world for almost 2 decades in various senior positions, I decided to take the risk and venture on my own.
- Here is my story of how I quit my fancy designation and high-paying C-Suite job and started my own Cloud-based Accounting and Consulting Firm ‘Vizhen Books’ to help SMEs succeed.
Back Story: Why I decided to pursue Chartered Accountancy?
You might be surprised to know that I ‘never’ set out to be a Chartered Accountant, it just happened by accident (at least the first one)!
I come from a business family in India where my dad was actively involved in the business. So, growing up I always dreamt of joining his business right after school, which was the norm in traditional business families those days!
Surprisingly, my Grade 12 results were much better than expected and it could get me selected into the prestigious Delhi University!
