Listen, if you’re sitting in a Chennai PG right now, scrolling Naukri at 2 a.m., trust me, you’re not alone. Every second B.Com final-year student is doing the same thing because Chennai is literally throwing accounting jobs left, right, and centre in 2025. I’m talking 3400+ live openings on Naukri today morning, another 3000+ on LinkedIn, and companies still posting “urgent requirement” on their own career pages. From Sholinganallur to Siruseri, Guindy to Ambattur, OMR to Mount Road, every area is full of vacancies. Freshers are walking out with ₹3.5 lakh to ₹6 lakh offers, CA Inter people ₹7 lakh to ₹12 lakh, and anyone with 4-5 years experience is easily touching ₹18 lakh to ₹30 lakh. Even if you just finished a solid 3-month Tally + GST course, companies are ready to take you tomorrow.
This guide is written exactly the way seniors talk in college canteen or PG terrace, no bookish lines, only what actually happens on the ground in 2025.

Why Chennai is Going Mad for Accountants Right Now
Simple reasons –
IT companies are back to full hiring after two slow years.
Manufacturing in Ambattur, Sriperumbudur, Oragadam never stopped growing.
Export houses in Perungudi and Taramani are doing record business.
New GST rules from 2025 budget, every company suddenly needs extra hands for compliance.
Cab culture is so good now, even guys staying in Tambaram, Chromepet, Avadi are joining Siruseri offices without tension.
Hybrid is permanent in almost half the companies, work two days from home, three days office.
So even if your college placement is weak, don’t worry. Market is hungry.
