Hello


You have studied subjects from varied disciplines. And most of all it is very appreciating to see you have constructed an enormous amount of work experience. Your first degree is in Zoology, and since studying it you haven't worked in any job related to Zoology. Soon after Bachelors you have entered into GNIIT and MCA, wherein both are about computers. Again, there is no work experience related to computer career. But you have gained almost more than 10 years in Accounting and finance. This is definitely a wov factor and you must be treated as a Business Professional now.

Considering your work experience in accounts and finance for 14 years, you have four best options to choose from. This also requires you to finalise whether you want to specialise only in Accounts or in Finance. So the four options are indicated below:
  • MBA with Accounts and Finance
An MBA is definitely apt for you at this stage. In fact this is the first choice I will recommend for your sort of career profile. A 14 years of work experience is definitely suitable for someone studying a professional management degree. Completing this degree you may choose to get into Management side of the company. In fact completing this degree, you can claim for Manager/ Senior manager professions.
  • PhD Management with Accounts and Finance
If you are interested in both academic and corporate side then this may be an ideal choice for you. A PhD degree is usually run for three years and completing it you are eligible to work in Universities as Professors or even at corporates at Senior Management positions. To study a PhD you need to have qualified UGC NET exam. This exam is mandatory in order to get a PhD admission. You may also write and qualify UGC JRF exam and this will qualify you for a monthly stipend through out your PhD studies.
  • Chartered Accountancy - CA
A CA is a professional degree equivalent to a Doctorate degree like the PhD. As you have had many years of work experience in accounts, then you are also eligible to so this chartered course. Completing this degree you are eligible to work in BIG 4 companies like the Deloitte, PWC, KPMG, E&Y as Auditors or chief auditors.
  • Chartered Financial Analyst CFA
A CFA is also a professional stream in finance similar to accounts that I mentioned above. This does requires an in-depth knowledge in finance for studying this degree. Completing it you can work in Big 4's and also at the private and government banks in investment and wealth management division.

To me, MBA is highly advisable for you. Try writing CAT exam and achieve very good scores in it. With high scores, you can be eligible to be selected by top Bschools in India like the IIM's, XLRI, FMS Delhi. Hope this helps. Good luck.
