Depends on the CFO but probably very hard. Is going to be far harder going from PA to a startup compared to going from SA to M. Startups are a different beast entirely. That said, if it works out, it could be very good for you.

yeah it will depend on your self motivation to learn. i spent a lot of my free time outside of work, reading and researching how to do things better.

it was pretty common for me to work overnight when i felt inspired or had that breakthrough learning moment

but it has been a great experience so far

Is CMA worth getting after getting the CPA? Or is it better to get the CFA. Also don’t have much finance background so I don’t know if I can pass the CFA will require a lot of hard work. Interesting in hearing people’s thoughts.

I have no plans in leaving PA anytime soon but I figure maybe I should look into another certification that holds value and makes me more marketable compared to my peers. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.

- Also considering going to a t14 MBA in future.
