Careers

Train at the frontier of the profession.

Most firms give you the profession as it was. We are building the CA firm as it will be — the rule-based layer automated, the judgment layer augmented, and your hours spent on the work machines cannot sign.

Why here and not a Big 4

Smaller firm. Bigger surface area.

01

No silo, no layer

At a large firm you spend three years in one vertical, four levels from the partner. Here you work across direct tax, GST, company law, and FEMA — directly with the founding CA, from week one.

02

The automation does the drudgery

Returns, reconciliations, and data pulls run through our own automation stack. You review, you decide, you sign — you do not re-key numbers at midnight in filing season.

03

A standard you can cite

Every output at this firm — human or AI — cites the specific section, rule, or circular it stands on. You leave here knowing the law, not just the software that hides it.

Open roles

4 positions open

Articleship and internships in Visakhapatnam; qualified and semi-qualified roles in Hyderabad, Vizag, or Bangalore. No CV first — a short screening first, then apply on WhatsApp or email with your score attached.

Articled Assistant (CA Articleship)

ArticleshipVisakhapatnam · In-office

A three-year articleship where you will not spend your days on data entry. The rule-based layer — returns, reconciliations, filings — runs through our automation stack. Your training hours go to the work that actually builds a CA: assessments, notices, structuring, and client conversations.

You will

  • Work directly with the founding CA — no layers between you and the actual decisions
  • Handle income tax, GST, and MCA work across the full client lifecycle, not one silo
  • Draft notice responses and opinions with statutory citations — and defend them
  • Learn to operate and improve the firm’s AI tooling instead of competing with it

You bring

  • CA Intermediate (both groups preferred)
  • Willingness to verify every number against the section it comes from
  • Curiosity about where the profession is going, not just where it has been
