Congratulations on passing your Inter exam with a great score! That’s a significant achievement. When selecting an articleship firm, it’s essential to consider several factors, including the firm’s reputation, the quality of mentorship, the variety of work you can expect, and the exposure to areas you’re interested in, such as taxation advisory, due diligence, and transaction advisory.
Based on the firms you’ve listed, here are some thoughts:
CNK & Associates: Known for its strong presence in taxation and advisory services. You may get a good opportunity to work on various tax matters and advisory projects.
SHARP & TANNAN: This firm has a solid reputation in the industry and provides exposure in Audit and advisory services, along with good training opportunities.
MSKA and Associates: They focus on Audit, tax, and advisory work. If you’re aiming for diverse experience, this could be a good choice.
RAKCHAMPS CA: They are known for their emphasis on transaction advisory, which aligns well with your interests.
MGB & Co: This firm generally offers exposure to a range of industries and services. Look into their specialization areas to see if they meet your goals.
Sudit Parekh & Co: They have a reputation for quality work in taxation, which could be beneficial for your focus area.
MM Nissim & Co: Known for their Audit and advisory services, they may also provide a good foundation in your field of interest.
KKC & Co & Mehta Choksi & Shah: While a bit less known, it’s worth exploring their recent works and the kind of projects they are involved in, as personal mentorship can also vary from one supervisor to another.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your specific career goals and the work culture you prefer. It might be beneficial to reach out to current or former articles assistants at these firms to get insight into their experiences, the kind of projects they worked on, and the overall learning environment. Good luck with your decision, and don’t hesitate to prioritize a firm where you feel you’ll receive the best mentorship and opportunities for growth!
