CFA makes money, CPA counts somebody else’s money

CFA and CPA are completely different things for completely different roles.

CPA is the gold standard.

CFA is actually more difficult to obtain and arguably more useful, but for whatever reason it just isn’t as widely recognized/respected. At the end of the day a certification is nothing but a marketing tool, and the fact of the matter is: marketing that isn’t recognized isn’t good marketing. There’s so many CFAs out there that never get a chance to use it. That’s not a problem for CPAs.

CMA is a waste of time. Everyone who sees it just wonders why you couldn’t cut it as a CPA

CPA trumps CMA, so then it's a question of what your career plans are between CFA and CPA like EY1 mentioned. Both are valuable, but depending on your field, one is more applicable than the other.

Ultimately depends on what you want to do. CFA is tougher and honestly still doesn’t serve as a silver bullet to get the high dollar PM and PWM roles. Plenty of CFAs in the industry still stuck in the BO.

Only if you have no personable skills
