Is getting a CPA useful for Big 4 Valuation advisory?
Will start work on a Big 4 valuation team this summer. I was just wondering if the CPA is useful for a Big 4 Valuation advisory type of job. Already on the CFA track.

Since you're on the CFA track already, I wouldn't recommend the CPA. Assuming its business valuation, you'll find much more value from the CFA.
When pursuing designations Valuation people go for the CFA or ASA (if they know they want to stay in valuation). Those with CPAs had it before joining.
