Thoughts on CMA vs CPA in big 4 tax practice?

Share this 🔥 post

Passed all CPA with high 80 scores (just skilled at taking tests I think). How long do I need to pass CMA? Thinking I’ll study for 2 months after busy season and take both parts in June. Unrealistic?

What to pursue next? CMA, CA, CFA or any other licenses?Have been working in big4 for more than two years now. Passed CPA. Hesitant to take CFA as it's a 3 yr commitment and not quite related to CPA.

Any recommendations on which license to pursue after CPA? Something general that will look good/help me along the way... maybe CMA or CIA? 🤔

So I know that B4 give you a bonus for passing the CPA before or within 1 year of joining. But what if you pass more than one certification? Like besides the CPA, get the CMA, CIA etc. Multiple bonus?

Hello. I'm new to this community. I am a full time stay-at-home mom. Now my son is going to pre-school. I finally have time to myself. Started my accounting advisory business before Covid. I'm eager going back to work. I'm looking for primarily contractor work but found myself couldn't even land a W2 work opportunity. I have a bunch of certificates (CPA, CMA, etc.) and have masters degree in accounting. Can anyone please give me some advise or recourses that would be helpful ? Thank you!

Does getting a CMA license actually open any doors for you, if you don't also have a CPA license? Are there companies that will pay for your CMA exams and get you the experience requirement you need like those that help with CPA stuff? Thanks!

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?
