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 similar closer 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 know a guy who got his CPA and worked at a big 4 for a few years before getting into specialty finance ER. I think since the financial statements can be trickier to analyze in that space his accounting knowledge was more valued.
Nice HFer, very encouraging news.
I've seen a handful of people who have both the CFA and CPA designations by their name. Most started out at a Big 4 and decided they wanted to move out. What kind of explaining do you expect to have to do? If you don't have the experience to put the 3 letters after your name, I'd just add "passed all 4 levels of CPA" at the bottom of your resume.
