Frequently asked questions
What work can I expect from an articleship at a Mumbai CA firm?
The work varies by practice. Possible assignments include ROC filings, GST corrections, bookkeeping, tax returns, audit coordination, company incorporation and advisory support.
Ask for a practical breakdown of the first few months rather than relying only on the firm category.
Which CA firm is suitable for startup-focused articleship work?
Look for a practice handling startup setup, incorporation, DSC applications, tax compliance and advisory. These assignments can provide broader exposure than a role limited to routine bookkeeping.
Confirm how much client-facing and filing work articles are allowed to handle.
Should I choose a firm focused on tax, audit or ROC work?
Choose according to the experience you want to build. Tax suits candidates interested in returns and advisory, while audit develops checking and documentation skills. ROC work is useful for company compliance and statutory filing exposure.
A firm combining several areas may suit candidates who want wider early experience.
What should I confirm before visiting a CA firm?
Confirm that applications are open, the office is receiving candidates and the meeting time is fixed. Also ask about working hours, supervision, expected assignments and documents required for the discussion.
These details help you avoid an unnecessary trip and prepare relevant questions.
