Vaibhav Mehndiratta - CA ACCA CPA Canada Program

Here’s a 60-day strategy to prepare and pass the CPA Canada CFE, especially with work and life in your 30s:

First 15 days:
Just glimpse through the technicals required to attempt cases. Understand the different formats of cases.

Next 15 days:

Start attempting a few Day 3 cases and review the technicals and your cases. Don’t rush. Just get the hang of it. This will help you build on Day 2 and Day 3 cases.

Next 10 days:

Level up and attempt your first Day 2 case. Understand how Day 2 is different from Day 3. Review Technicals. Work on some Excel workings for the exam. Get more comfortable with attempting the exam on Word and Excel files. Attempt your second or third (if time permits) Day 2 case with learnings from the first trial and review.

Last 20 days:

This is most crucial - focus and take some time off from work. Continue with day-to-day life.

Review technicals and just keep attempting cases. Pick up Day 1 just 2 weeks before the exam. Day 1 doesn’t need more than 3 days to review and get an understanding. Attempt Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 back to back and conclude 4-5 days before the exam day.

Take a 1 day break, revisit everything you did in the next 3 days and go kill it!

If I can pass the CPA Canada CFE in 60 days, then ACCAs can do it just as easily.

Let me explain:

Almost everything you studied during your ACCA qualification is tested on the exam, except for minor differences in tax. If you understood the technical aspects properly and worked on real clients, this exam is quite manageable.

I find it unbelievable that ACCAs were waiting for a new MRA between CPA Canada and ACCA, which, by the way, is not coming back.

Why do you need an MRA when you can easily revisit what you studied and attempt this exam?

The CA curriculum is not as dynamic as the ACCA curriculum. Additionally, your CPA exams are also conducted on computers. Yet, many ACCAs miss the opportunity to take them. Many do not even attempt them.

My only suggestion for ACCAs is to revise what you studied, hone your skills on the strong fundamentals you built during your ACCA qualification, and then go for it.

If I can do it in just 60 days after returning to academics after 11 years, so can you!

It took me just 60 days to prepare and pass the CPA Canada CFE, and here’s 1 of many learnings from the experience:

It’s not that hard if you know how to use your strong background.

The amount of hard work I had put in while doing my Chartered Accountancy degree in India 11 years ago vs what I had put in now, is very less due to the strong base and fundamentals I built over the years.

A lot of CAs and ACCAs overestimate the transition to CPA Canada. But if you’re coming with a strong base and fundamentals built upon knowledge and experience, it will be easier for you to strategize it.

As Canada gets ready to grow its trade and non-US exports, it brings in more options for CAs and ACCAs to plan their transition to CPA Canada.

As a CA, I am working with even politicians in setting up “Plan B” passports for their next generation.

Last week, I was approached by a political family.

Their concern? The son’s future.

“In today’s world, having just one passport is like having just one income stream. Very risky.”- said father.

As a CA, my task is more than just numbers.

I help families design security for the next generation.

For this family, the son’s backup isn’t another property.

It’s a Canadian home.

Along with-

A business, residency, and eventually — a Canadian passport.

Because in uncertain times, true wealth is not just assets…
It’s options.

If you’re exploring a strategic backup for your family’s next generation, it’s time to talk.

The skills and expertise offered by the course is unmatched, no doubt.

But, the system in India often limits your global vision to low-paying audit & accounting jobs.

When I started, I too walked the traditional path.

But, I realized early that INR 7000 stipend per month in Big 4 would not lead me towards my dream career.

So, I pivoted.

I built my own system to exit out of this rabbit hole.

It's up to you if you want to follow the system or explore options.

But, if you ask me-

As an ACCA, you are worth more abroad!

The government has finally started waking up to the need for reform- rolling out policy changes aimed at helping Indian CA firms scale to Big 4 levels.


While I appreciate the move, but let’s face the reality:


▶ These changes are decades late.
▶ And it could easily take another 10 years for any Indian firm to compete on a global scale.


Do you have that much time to wait as a finance professional in India?


5 years ago, I was in a similar dilemma.


I was running my own CA firm in India, but even something as basic as marketing my services on social media was restricted.


That's where I decided to pivot towards higher rewarding opportunities abroad.


And that decision is paying off immensely now.


If you are a multiple attempt CA, CPA or ACCA in India, pivot towards global opportunities timely.


Because even though India is changing, it will take time!

I would plan my first ACCA internship abroad if I am starting ACCA in India today.

3 reasons:

1. More pay and better lifestyle
2. ⁠Work directly on global projects
3. ⁠Open self employment options

Many ACCA aspirants in India don’t explore this option.

Why?

1. Unaware about immigration
2. ⁠Stuck in low paying audit and accounting jobs
3. ⁠Misguided by acca institute and tutors

If you want to explore, speak to our experts.

CA is a rewarding course only if you know how to make best use out of it.

I am also a CA and I earn my living using the skills I learnt as a CA.

But, had I been using my CA skills in low paying jobs, I would have been no different from other professionals who keep cribbing.

Learn to value your skills and make best use out of it.
