CFA is substantially harder

like

There’s some overlap, yes. The CPA questions are harder than the questions you would see on the CFA exam though. The depth of the CFA exam is what makes it much more challenging. Best comparison I can make is assume you were taking all 4 CPA exams at once (naturally different content).

I figured. You took both? I imagine a lot of overlap with financial reporting being such a big topic on the CFA as well
