Would obtaining a CMA help with locking down an FP&A role?

I doubt most people in FP&A know what a CMA is.

like

FP&A highly values MBAs and CPAs. Not sure if CMA will do anything for you.

I have my CMA and am interviewing for a few FP&A roles. In my experience if the company knows what it is then it helps, but only about 30% or so know what it is. So not the most helpful, that being said the IMA chapters are phenomenal for networking from what I have seen.

CMA is pretty useless tbh. Most people don't know what it is. As others mentioned, CPA is the one you want.
