Good luck OP! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

In healthcare, been on a few FP&A project. Some of the managers/directors in my group has it, and figured it doesn't hurt to get an extra certification. Taking REG first to get the toughest part out of the way

It's all subjective as to which is the hard parts, but go get 'em!

Yeah but no one says BEC is the hardest...

Good luck! Crush it!

Also a CPA in consulting....good luck!!!

Good luck op! 🍀

For me definitely REG was harder because my MAcc track was Financial Reporting and not Tax. Good luck OP, and remember you usually do much better than you feel coming out :)
