Careers
Work on real engagements, with a partner across the table.
SMK & Co. is a partner-led practice in Bengaluru and Shivamogga. Teams are small, so the person preparing a schedule is usually the person who discusses it with the partner and, before long, with the client.

Why work here
The work reaches you early.
In a single year you can move between a statutory audit, a GST assessment, a bank branch audit and an information systems review.
That breadth is the point. It is how professionals here learn to read a business rather than only its ledgers, and it is difficult to get in a larger firm where work is divided by department.
Every file is reviewed by a partner, and the review is a conversation: what the evidence supports, what is missing, and how the conclusion should be worded. That is the main way training happens here.
You can expect
- Direct partner supervision
- Client contact early
- Exposure across practice areas
- Structured file review
- Support for qualifications that fit the work
We expect
- Accuracy and documentation
- Confidentiality without exception
- Deadlines met
- Willingness to keep learning
- Standards and amendments kept current
What we look for
Four routes into the firm.
Article assistants
CA students beginning articleship who want audit and tax exposure from the first year rather than a single department.
Qualified Chartered Accountants
Recently qualified or experienced CAs ready to run engagements and deal with clients directly.
Semi-qualified & accounts staff
Accountants strong on bookkeeping, GST and TDS compliance who work carefully and to deadline.
Technology & IS audit
People with systems, data or security experience interested in information systems audit and forensic analysis.
What you work on
Four kinds of work.
Audit & assurance
Statutory, internal, bank branch and PSU audits.
Planning, fieldwork, sampling and documentation to ICAI standards, with review by the engagement partner.
Tax & regulatory
Income tax, GST and company filings.
Returns, reconciliations, notices and assessments, plus the ROC and secretarial work that runs alongside them.
Forensic & investigation
Establishing what the records actually show.
Fund tracing, transaction testing and evidence-grade documentation on matters where the facts are contested.
Technology & systems
Auditing the systems the numbers come from.
IT general controls, access and change reviews, data extraction and analysis, and data-protection assessment.
