This might sound really mean, but The CMA sounds much more interesting and fulfilling. Taxes, auditing and regulation are very important, but sound boring as hell. Going through and checking to see if the financial statements are accurate as a career? Although extremely important, sounds so boring and unfulfilling. With the CMA, you’re helping make strategic decisions for the company to help them grow and improve. That personally sounds much more fulfilling.

CPA here. While I think the CMA/CGMA route is more appropriate content-wise for accountants who plan to go into industry than a CPA, employers overwhelmingly favor a candidate with a CPA over every other credential, including an MBA. I dont think you can go wrong with a CMA but know that a CPA will have an edge over you in the job market.

I took both exams. I think it’s also important to note that the CPA not only requires a bachelors but 150 hours of accredited college credit. Of those 150 hrs, 36 hours need to be in accounting courses. Also the CPA exam does cover some parts of the CMA exam, mainly in BEC, FAR and some audit. I chose to stop pursuing the CPA because I work in industry and hated public accounting

Both CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and CMA (Certified Management Accountant) are highly respected and valuable credentials in the field of accounting. The choice between them depends on your career goals and interests. CPA focuses more on auditing, tax, and financial reporting, whereas CMA focuses more on financial management and strategic decision making. Consider the industries and roles you want to work in and research the requirements for each certification to determine which one aligns better with your aspirations.

I think the comparative difficulty of each exam depends on one's aptitude. Disclaimer: I have only taken (and passed) the CMA exam (in its 2009 format). If you're good at math, I assume CMA would probably be done somewhat more smoothly than the CPA exam. I assume there's less "memorization" for the CMA exam and I know quantitative reasoning went a long way with me. Of course - you still need to put in the study hours to pass. Even though I have not taken the CPA exam, I have seen practice questions. It appears to not be as mathematically inclined as the CMA BUT probably has more rigid memorization required to pass. So if you're not particularly comfortable with math, I'd say the CPA might be a less daunting challenge for you? But again, take what I say with a grain of salt since I haven't actually taken both exams!

Hi Valerie, I totally understand. It's a tough choice. It boils down to the type of career that you want long term. Once you're clear on that, choose the designation that best aligns with your vision. If you want a career in management, opt for the CMA. If you want a career in taxation and audit, opt for the CPA. Having said that, there's no rule that says you have to choose only one. You can do both throughout your career. Just start with the one that interests you the most.

Hello, I am a US Tax professional with 10 years of experience in tax compliance from India. I am really confused if having a CMA certification at this point of my career will help me to change my career towards management accounting role. Is it worthy to take the shot for CMA certification? Please reply. Thanks in advance.

Hi! If you're looking to make a career change into managerial accounting, the CMA designation is a good fit. Tax accounting and managerial accounting are quite different fields so this designation will help bridge the gap. The CMA journey can be confusing, at first.

I'd say the US CPA is one of the most prestigious degrees one can pursue. It's the ultimate accounting(financial) degree, period. Even here in India, having a US CPA almost guarantees a job in the big 4.
@Chris24_
Жыл бұрын
Wouldn’t really say it’s the “ultimate” financial qualification, that without question would be the CFA. The CPA is the gold standard accounting designation for accounting in North America, for sure, but it doesn’t give you an edge over other designations in their specific territory (for instance a CPA won’t have the edge over ICAEW member in the UK, even though the qualification would be recognized, they’d prefer ICAEW CA designation because it provides a better understanding of UK tax law/accounting standards) at the end of the day it’s a great qualification, one that can open MANY doors, but I wouldn’t say it’s at the very top of financial designations.
