To the OP, it's not too late to start anything (especially you are only 29). Here is my story:
When I graduated from computer engineering, I was recruited to Nortel. I thought I was the hot shat. It lasted only 10 months. Most of us got laid off because of the dot-com bust. Then I was out of a remotely-relevant job for almost 3 years. I did work for some of Canada's largest companies (Superstore, Wal-mart, Futureshop, you name it).
Not until I found a call-center job as a technical support where I was kind-of back into the tech game. I kept upgrading myself, taking networking/IT certification and business analysis/project management courses along the way. Anyways, it took another 5 1/2 years before I am back to be an IT Analyst - 12 years later from when I first started.
Anyways, the moral of the story is that it doesn't matter how you start, but where you end up matters. Keep working towards your dream.
Good luck and let us know about your journey to become a CA.
