GETTING REAL | Beyond CA: USCPA, Global Finance & Smart Career Decisions | Ft. CA Ankit Patwari

In this episode of Getting Real, Praveen Patwari sits down with CA Ankit Patwari Sir for a candid conversation on CA, USCPA, and making the right career decisions in the commerce and finance space. The discussion traces Ankit Sir’s journey into teaching, why he chose CA, and how students can honestly evaluate whether CA is the right path for them. The episode explores what a CA truly does beyond auditing, common mistakes aspirants make, the reality of articleship, and how to strategically build value during and after CA Inter. It also addresses practical concerns — societal expectations, the “Half CA vs CA” debate, and long-term career positioning. A detailed segment focuses on USCPA — eligibility, exam structure, cost, salary expectations in India vs the US, and transition planning for CA students and professionals. Beyond qualifications, the conversation highlights mindset, compounding growth, entrepreneurship, and building a sustainable finance career with clarity — not hype.
