27 February 2014 i m selected in both pwc nd bmr advisors for articleship bt i m a bit confused regarding selection of the firm.On one hand,pwc comes under big4 audit firms so i can get mnc exposure(i have opted for stat. audit) and on the other hand,bmr is best tax firm so i can get specialisation in dt or idt.
please advise me regarding the matter...which would be better considering future prospects??
i m interested in both stat. audit nd tax(that is i can do any)..
thank u in advance

27 February 2014 BMR is as good as any big 4 firm when it comes to taxation. Quality wise its way better. So choose it if you are going for taxation.

prospects in audit and tax are equally good and you dont have to fear of losing out if you pick one over another. But yes you do have to pick one.

27 February 2014 Hey..

Well this is basic doubt before starting your career and after clearing your exams.Audit will give you a good exposure in the actual business world but tax would restrict your direct dealings with clients of firsthand. But to be honest both will be monotonous and you will be easily moved away by your motivation to work within a year or so.
But in long run it matters a lot what you want to do or where you see yourself 5 years down the line, getting in tax exposes you to all such transactions where you can easily build money a handsome money whereas audit though you will be dealing with clients but ultimately you will get a feel boss why the ____ am i bothered about it its his business and let them do what they want, If money is your priority then go for tax but if you want to explore the world enjoy hasty outstation audits deal with clients, Audit...so it is you who need to decide what you want , i would advice you to ask your HR in BMR the work you will be exposed to will it make you motivated..
Tax will make you a master but only in one direction while audit will expose you to wide ground of transactions..

PS. I did my Internship from Big-4 so i can promptly guarantee you that brand name matters a lot irrespective of the shit we do there..

Thanks! Cheers!!
