He joined his father's audit department as a trainee and quickly became involved in some large charity and corporate audits. Due to his family's love for the profession, he believes he could not have exhaled in any other profession except accounting and auditing. Vishal's uncles and their sons are all accountants, and his grandfather was the founding president of the Bombay Chartered Accountant Society. He wanted to broaden his accounting and auditing expertise after working in the practise for six years, so he earned a degree in International Financial Reporting and Auditing Standards and passed his ACCA exams in 2009. Since then, he has worked with some of the top firms, honing his skills in the fields of statutory, internal, and systems auditing, and he has extensive experience dealing with audits ranging from £20 million to £300 million in turnover. Vishal's clients have come from a wide range of industries, including information technology, manufacturing, and logistics. Vishal also served on the ACCA's Harrow Network member's panel for two years before stepping down due to a work commitment.
