CPA or CMA?
6
Finance and tech sectors are cutting new hire classes in half meanwhile accounting firms are paying new hires as much as experienced hires. This inability to think dynamically or forward is why accounting firms get no respect in the marketplace. Just a bunch of old boomers who run everything based on accounting outcomes (history), not ongoing operations (future).
Do you guys send your kids to daycare with their cellphones? My kids are starting their summer daycare program next week but the center doesn't want kids to bring tablets or cellphones. I feel like I want my kids to be able to call me if they need me. So, I'm thinking of putting their phones in their bags, on silent anyway. I'm paying a fortune to this center, I should get some say here.
YMCA is better
No one cares about CMA
CPA
CPA crushes all other certifications.

CPA 8/10 times, manufacturing companies tend to list CMA as an alternative to CPA for requirements.
CPA for sure.

CPA.. CMA is fine but it’s limited in comparison. Might as well get the more useful one.
CMA will get you a job in accounting. CPA will build you a career or a business of your own.
I see the AICPA marketing team is going their jobs..
Sigh...
The only people who think the CMA has any value are other CMAs, of which there aren’t many.
CPA, the tests seem like an unclimbable mountain but believe in yourself and put the hours in and you’ll be fine easy
CPA all day all night...  it would be pretty obvious with the CPA. The tax returns represent the client audits. You could have your own practice. Hell CMA for a company would you rather have cpa?

Others with CMA’s typically have CPA first. I got both just for the clout and it’s helped me with salary negotiations. Otherwise I don’t think CMA is necessary.
CMA is 90% of CPA and is too costly and wont give you benefits more than a CPA does. If I were you, go for CPA or CIA because controls are everything!
