This book cleared my 80% doubts of what a CA journey looks like. His journey was very inspiring and would help the aspirants too.
The thing that was lacking was this is the journey of a topper, but not everyone is a topper. So, not everyone can relate to this,I think.
But overall, worth reading if you are thinking to pursue CA as a career.

I recently finished Acing CA by Kushal Lodha, and honestly, I think every CA student should read this book at least once. It’s inspiring, motivating, and packed with genuinely helpful insights. From exam strategies to understanding how the industry works, to the different career paths available after becoming a CA — the book covers everything in a very practical and relatable way. His tips come from real experience, and that’s what makes the book stand out.
What I loved the most were the parts where he talks about his own journey as a CA and the lessons he learned while working in the industry. Those chapters felt like getting advice directly from someone who has already walked the path. It’s the kind of perspective I wish I had access to earlier. I honestly feel like I read it a little late in my journey — but I’m happy I read it now because it gave me clarity and a renewed sense of direction.
I also want to mention something personal. Kushal Lodha cleared CA at a very young age and achieved things pretty quickly. Of course, he worked extremely hard — no doubt about that. But reading about such a fast and smooth journey did make me feel a little inferior for a moment, especially because I’ve been on this path for a long time and still haven’t cleared CA. It felt like reading the story of someone from an “elite” lane while I’m still struggling on my own road. But I know this is my personal feeling, not a flaw in the book. Everyone’s journey is different, and that’s completely okay.
Overall, Acing CA is a wonderful, insightful guide that gives both motivation and clarity. Whether you’re just starting your CA journey or stuck somewhere in the middle, this book can genuinely help you understand the process better and feel less lost. I’m really glad I picked it up.

An excellent book for those who are pursuing & those aspiring to pursue CA. Well collated book with pristine articulation & proper flow of thoughts that the author intends to convey. As myself being CA Final student, had me relating to lots of content in the book. As a person associated with one of the important personalities appearing in the book Padma Shri Mr. T N Manoharan, I can say that the book is quite authentic in its content relating to anecdotes mentioned as I myself have heard those anecdotes personally from Manoharan sir. It serves as a guide to decide on the course of action regarding broader decisions as well as day to day decisions like pattern of study to be adopted for passing CA. Overall a must read for all CA aspirants. Kudos to the author !

I absolutely loved reading Acing CA.
As someone who is also pursuing the CA course, reading about the journey of Kushal was very relatable and inspiring.
Like for me Kushal is like a milestone figure for CA fraternity.
I would personally recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of doing CA or is dicey whether to pursue CA course or not or is already in the middle of the course. It gives clarity, motivation, and a very realistic perspective of the journey.
And honestly, I won’t lie - this is the first complete book (except for fiction and comics) I have ever read, and that itself says a lot about how much I enjoyed it.
