FitFrom CA articleship to your first job: a practical guide
Your articleship already gives you much of what first-job postings want: audits, tax filings, reconciliations and client work. The trick is translating it for employers. Under ICAI's current scheme, practical training (articleship) runs for two years, and most postings for newly qualified CAs ask for 0 to 2 years of post-qualification experience.

How to search well
- Describe articleship like work experience: name the sectors, the audits and filings you handled, and the tools you used (Tally, SAP, Excel).
- Count experience from your CA result: postings that ask for 0 to 2 years usually mean post-qualification. Mention articleship separately.
- If you did industrial training, lead with it for corporate and GCC roles.
- Big 4 or GCC? Compare the work, not the brand: ask which standards (Ind AS, IFRS, US GAAP) and which audit or close cycle you'd own.
- Keep a short list of target employers. A FitRole saved search emails you when they post a matching role.

One per employer, newest first. Each links to the employer's original posting from its FitRole page.
Where FitRole fits, and where it doesn't
FitRole only lists roles it can trace to the employer's own careers page or job board, and re-checks each one every 7 days. That makes it a good place to see verified finance roles in one list. It is not complete: some employers hire only through recruiters, referrals or their own sites we don't cover yet, so keep a short list of target employers' careers pages too. Roles can close between our checks; confirm on the employer's site before applying.
