Worth doing the CFA® qualification after an ACA?

I am currently an M&A executive at Deloitte UK and have been working here since September 2017.

I have just finished my ACA qualification (UK chartered accountancy) and have the opportunity to do another qualification funded by Deloitte. I was therefore contemplating doing the CFA® 
.

Many of my friends have done the CFA® 
and I therefore understand what is required to complete all 3 levels. I wanted to ask for advice on whether people think it would be worthwhile for me to do it? Or whether there is another qualification that would be more useful (MBAs are not funded).

Would be great to hear some thoughts.
