I think you should just apply. Someone on the accounting team that knows taxes but can do other stuff is a gem.

As someone who is currently studying for the CMA exam I'd say the context of the material will definitely help towards providing theoretical knowledge of the day to day tasks for industry accounting roles.

However, having your CPA is viewed in higher regard and should be enough to get the role and be successful.

Getting the CMA at this point would be purely for further professional development so if that's what you want go for it.

Many senior accountants in industry don't have CPAs. Unless they work for top high tech companies, pay is low too. Specialized areas like tax, FP&A can be compensated better and grow with experience. If you want to work in corporate accounting, just apply. You will get it.

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

So, I truly enjoy wealth management, corporate and institutional solutions and being in a managerial position with 5+ years in this field and in a true management position. I have a B.s in Business Administration and MBA in Global Business Management Currently hold Series 7, 9, 10 and 66 and I’m looking for great opportunities in the Atlanta market. All the help, referrals and guidance would be much appreciated! Was at JPMC before but had left to get managerial experience. I miss JPMC!

Is there anything I should think about getting experience in? How should I go about making sure I am seeing enough things?
