I have 5 years global accounting experience from India, I worked for Tesco company based in UK, thought my job profile is about AP&AR, I worked more into data analytics job using more of Oracle, excel and SAP as a tool.

Currently I’m in USA where AP/AR is very manual and require GAAP which I did not study. By looking at these requirements I’m more comfortable in doing a job like financial analyst.

Please advise how can I switch from accounting professional to financial analyst?

Planning to take the CIPP and CIPM. Will be doing self-study. What is the “book” everyone refers to for studying? Is it just the “study guide” the IAPP sells? Does anyone know if the study guides and sample questions you can buy on amazon are sufficient to use for passing? Appreciate any and all advice.
