From Citrin Cooperman to Armanino: How this CA built a career helping US CPA Firms looking at India

• Hi, I am Shrenik Shah, a Chartered Accountant who started his career in the offshore space way back in 2004.
• In 2023, Armanino, one of the top 20 US CPA firms set up its India operation, and I was appointed Managing Director.
• Here is how my career has shaped up and how the offshoring space in India has evolved.

Backstory

In 2004, I qualified as a CA on the first attempt.

Instead of opting to work in a finance team or CA practice, I decided to leverage the offshore opportunities in India. I chose to work for US CPA Firms that were setting up their operations in India.

I still remember, one of the prominent practicing Chartered Accountants told me, “You are probably making a huge mistake.”
