is master in finance fitted in my situation
hi
i live in europe and i am studying a 4 year ba in accounting and finance
i am half way done and i am thinking my options
jobs i would like is auditor, corporate finance, analyst jobs.
How i think about it, start job right away from undergrad, and preferably go big4 audit or analyst in financial firm (propably bank) gain some experience and some know-how, and then move to more "analyst" jobs, like forecasting, evalutating and so on.
I prefer moving to forecasting and financial analysis in bank/insurance/whatever financial firm, but if its in corporate (like working under cfo) i wouldnt say no.
Having that said to get licensed i need to sit for acca and i was thinking about which master is best.
Since i will work first, it will be part time. My options, are master in finance and master in accounting (i dont like mba)
my dilemma is about, does it worth going acca + master acc afterwards? isnt it a bit overkill as studying the same thing twice?
will a master in finance give me the edge i need for financial analysis?

thats the program i want to go (2 routes)
right now i am 70-30 (fin-acc) and i need third opinion
will master in finance let me get analyst jobs (like actuary, quant, securities research) and get the corporate jobs (given the fact i will sit for acca aswell)
or master in acc, even with less quantitative approach will help me get there with the extra managerial accounting + auditing classes?
You still have 2 years left. Remember, those masters degrees are competing with BAs for jobs, so unless you can't get a "target" job after graduating, I wouldn't consider getting a masters. Just work hard to network and land great internships and you should be able to get a solid full time offer.
