Equity Research/Valuation Type Resume -- CPA

I just finished my fourth and final CPA test. How I should position the CPA on my resume in the case that I do pass? I am ultimately looking to be in equity research but would value a position in valuation or something similarly close to the accounting end of the spectrum. I plan to start working toward my CFA in July. I got my CPA b/c of a promise I made to the person who paid for my college.

Any help on how I should go about explaining my CPA on a banking- or valuation-type resume, cover letter, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

**I've posted this in a couple other forums, I wasn't sure where it fit best. My apologies if that's against SOP.
