Thoughts on getting the Business Analyst Certification & the CPA?

Hello, 
Any thoughts would help! 

Note:

  • The CBV designation is the Canadian version of the American (iiBV) Business Analyst Certification.  

I'm looking into getting a CPA and/or the CBV certification. 
 

My goal: To go on to acquire businesses and/or properties. 

My reason for thinking on taking the exams (CPA, & CBV) is so that I can be more knowledgable about the space. 
My education thus far:
Bachelors in Business 

2 seperate financial Modelling courses (one for REITs and one for general private equity).
