I started my CA journey with a Chartered Accountants Firm in August 2021. While there is a common perception that "passing CA is very difficult," I firmly believe that success is achievable with hard work, consistency, patience, and the right strategy. At 19, I completed all 17 CA papers within just 2.5 years and qualified as one of the youngest chartered accountants in Bangladesh. This journey taught me that success in CA isn't about being a genius-it's about staying focused and determined.

Chartered Accountants' unique journey of combining 3-4 years of rigorous practical training with their studies sets them apart. This training goes beyond theoretical learning, emphasizing the technical expertise required to excel in the real world. As a result, Chartered Accountants are highly sought after. They start their careers with lucrative job opportunities and experience rapid career growth-advantages that are often out of reach for those with academic degrees alone. With commitment, anyone can succeed in this program, and the rewards are well worth the effort.

I had a strong aspiration to enter the field of finance, which ultimately led me to pursue the Chartered Accountancy (CA) qualification. After completing my undergraduate studies, I decided to take on the challenge of becoming a CA, which would shape my career in ways I never imagined.

I passed the CA Final examinations in 2.5 years at the age of 26, during my Articleship. Indeed, passing the CA exam is not an easy game, it requires immense dedication, discipline, and perseverance. This qualification has undoubtedly been a game-changer in my career. Currently, I am holding the position of Associate Manager - Audit and Advisory Services at a renowned CA Firm in Bangladesh. My primary responsibility involves overseeing the Audit engagements, compliance, and strategic planning functions. Along with leading the team, I collaborate with cross-functional departments to align with organizational goals.

The CA qualification has been a cornerstone of my career, allowing me to thrive in the highly competitive finance industry.

Upon graduating from a prestigious private university, I pursued Chartered Accountancy by joining one of the esteemed Big Four accounting firms as an articled student. From the outset, I prioritized passing the CA examinations in the fewest attempts possible. Fortunately, the firm I was affiliated with demonstrated flexibility in my working hours and created an environment conducive to my studies.

My approach to learning emphasized a deep understanding of core concepts rather than rote memorization. I diligently studied all study materials, focusing on conceptual clarity and ensuring a thorough grasp of the subject matter.

At the age of 26, I successfully achieved the coveted CA qualification in the shortest timeframe. Shortly thereafter, I received an attractive employment offer from the prominent Abul Khair Group, where I joined as Manager (Accounts and Finance), with a competitive six-figure salary.

This experience with a distinguished organization profoundly heightened my awareness of the invaluable contributions that Chartered Accountants make to business growth and the country's overall economic prosperity.
