How important is an accounting designation in finance?
Hey guys,
Just want to get your thoughts on getting a CA before getting a CFA? I want to work in finance, but everyone I meet in the field seems to have an accounting designation and then switched to finance... What do you guys think? I have very little interest in accounting and don't want to spend the time getting a designation if it wont do anything for me. I was just considering CFA and MBA otherwise.
CA is for accountants. If you want to be an accountant, get the designation. If you want to do finance, don't get an accounting designation. Simple as that.
N.B. CFA + MBA is redundant and unnecessary. Bankers don't like overqualification. Just pick one or the other.
Any reason so many people have both a CA and CFA though?
and to the NB, if that is the case, which one do you recommend/?
