CPA.. CMA is fine but it’s limited in comparison. Might as well get the more useful one.

CMA will get you a job in accounting. CPA will build you a career or a business of your own.

The only people who think the CMA has any value are other CMAs, of which there aren’t many.

CPA, the tests seem like an unclimbable mountain but believe in yourself and put the hours in and you’ll be fine easy

CPA all day all night...  it would be pretty obvious with the CPA. The tax returns represent the client audits. You could have your own practice. Hell CMA for a company would you rather have cpa?

Others with CMA’s typically have CPA first. I got both just for the clout and it’s helped me with salary negotiations. Otherwise I don’t think CMA is necessary.

CMA is 90% of CPA and is too costly and wont give you benefits more than a CPA does. If I were you, go for CPA or CIA because controls are everything!

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm.

You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
