Hi,
I am a Chartered Accountant (equivalent to CPA in USA) and Lawyer from India. Have experience of close to 6 years with KPMG in Corporate International Tax & Exchange Control Regulations from India perspective.
I left KPMG in December 2023 and have co-founded public accounting firm with special focus on taxation and also representing clients in the Tax Tribunals. However my firm is not doing that great. It is profitable but doesn’t have high turnover.
I have done pro-bono cases also and have successfully won in Tax Tribunals. My GPA’s are sub-par and is in the range of 2.35 - 2.80 for my Bachelors in Commerce and Bachelors of Law based on Indian university issued transcript, but detailed evaluation would help so that GPA on 4 point scale might increase. Now, I contemplate to pursue MBA from USA as I aspire to go for Strategy Consulting / Management Consulting.
I have obtained GMAT waiver from Indiana Kelley (Bloomington), Emory, NYU Stern, Georgetown McDonough, Vanderbilt Owen and Carlson to name a few.
I wish to apply in Round 2. Also I am Parallelly working on GMAT so that I can apply to good schools
Please help in evaluating my profile and any tips for essays would be helpful.
Thanks
Edit - Have been doing pro-bono cases for marginalized people in Tax Tribunals. Also, helping out MSME's with financial advisory which helps them to utilize their resources efficiently.
