Is there any benefit of getting another certificate after CPA? I am thinking of either CMA or CIA but not sure if it's worth the effort. Let me know about your thoughts.

Cfp if you’re in tax and want to build estate planning/long term clients

Not really. It’s pretty much get 1 certification (ideally CPA) and MBA (if relevant to your trajectory - corporate finance/cfo route for example).

like

No - CPA will trump anything accounting related. The only other certs worth getting are the CFP or CFA both of which would be more applicable if you shifted careers.

Really depends on where you want to go. If it's control-related, CIA might be good. If you're in industry in a financial accounting & reporting role, it might be worth getting the CMA.

Neither will be a requirement for most jobs. They're just something to show you're an over achiever (hard worker) and that you have mastered some general content

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
