A shared heritage is an important part of the dynamic in the working relationship between Raj Rana FCPA and his client, Manish Trivedi. The practitioner: Raj Rana FCPA Managing director and founder of Devonshire Accountants in Brisbane I’ve always had friends from different backgrounds, and I love having clients from all walks of life. I was born in Kenya, which is a former British colony and a very multicultural place. English is the business language, Swahili is the national language, and I spoke Punjabi at home. I also taught myself Urdu and Hindi. Speaking five languages has come in handy, as I have a lot of clients from different cultural backgrounds. I spend some time learning about my clients’ cultures, which is so easy to do nowadays, as we have so much information at our fingertips on the internet.
