CMA has more of an international presence and more of a focus on management accounting and corporate finance, so if either of those are important to you then yes. CPA is the more prestigious certification though so you’re likely fine just sticking with that.

Is it worth it if you don't have a CPA and you're interested in pivoting to FP&A roles?

Take some community college courses for the hours. Trust me, CPA will be valuable in FP&A, although MBA is helpful too.

I’m about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon. However, I’ve been annoyed with their way of running the business and getting between me and my earnings far too long; and I received a lucrative offer to go in-house. I’m not looking forward to their reaction and feel bad about them having to take over my docket when everyone’s very busy. Any tips?
