Accountancy Forum

Hey guys,

First post here, and was hoping to a second opinion on a matter that I need to make a decision on.

I am an accounting student, and my dad is a CA (sole practitioner) who runs his own small firm (100-ish clients). When I am finished school/articling, I will be in a position to take over this firm, if I want to.

So that being said, I was wondering if you guys could chime in with the advantages/disadvantages of taking over this small firm, vs. taking a career as a "company man" so to speak, and what you guys think would be the best route to pursue?

Thanks very much -Cameron

Ask your dad. He'll be able to guide you better.

yes shahbaz is right if your dad is CA qualified then he will give you more accurate descision

Thanks guys. I guess I should have clarified that I have already talked to him and received his opinion, but I wanted to get some other opinions as well.
