Current property accountant - 2YOE in government affordable housing; 2YOE fund accounting making $60K. This can't be my prime. Not seeing my skillset in most job descriptions, and trying to break $100K. Not looking to get a CPA either. Is there a benefit to having a CMA? Tips/Tactics?

CPA is only worthwhile cert for general accounting. You could try doing public for a few years which would also boost you. I started in public making 60k and left three years later for a job making 100k
