CA Shashikant Sharma’s journey from Jharsuguda, Odisha, is a powerful, verified testament to grit. To fund his studies, he spent years helping his brother sell samosas from a street-side handcart while studying nearly 19 hours daily. Despite repeated failures and immense financial strain, he cleared the rigorous CA Final exams in 2019. Today, he is an established professional, having worked in corporate roles like OCL Iron and Steel, successfully transitioning from manual labour to a prestigious white-collar career.
An accountant can move into entrepreneurship by starting a GST and income tax consultancy practice, offering accounting services for FPOs and cooperatives, setting up an accounting firm for SMEs, or launching a Tally and GST training institute. There is also strong potential to provide specialised financial compliance and bookkeeping support for small businesses and community-based organisations.
