FP&A Career/Pursing CPA

Asking for thoughts on getting a Masters in Accounting and then taking CPA exams for a FP&A career? Also, asking for recommendations on online programs?

Background - several years in FP&A consulting and several years at a PE portfolio company. Did pass the CFA exams earlier in career.

Thank you.
