I’d like to become a bank examiner. My thought is to take in pass the CPA then after 4 to 5 years take the CMA to move into management your thoughts? Thank you.

Great video! I am an Accounting student who is trying to decide what route I should go towards. I am leaning towards CMA, but I am wondering; Do I need two years of work experience before I sit down for the exam? Or can I get my experience after I take the exam?

Hey, Thanks for the useful video. I've been working in the AP & AR domain for the past 6 years and recently did my diploma in Finance. I really want to go for CMA. Will that align with my previous experience?

One more question. If I go for the CMA should I get my MBA or Masters in Accounting Degree?

Hi Coach, I don't have a Bachelor's degree but I have a Master's Degree in Engineering Proj Mgt and a Grad Dip in Bus Mgt. Am I still eligible to apply for the CMA exam?

P.S - I am working as a Senior Finance Analyst for more than three years.

FINALLY U SAY SIR WHICH IS BEST US CPA OR US CMA ?? PLEASE TELL MEE

I'm having a really hard time deciding which career path I want to take both cpa and cma sound great but how do I choose what will be best for me lol I know that's a difficult question to answer but I'm currently in school for accounting and I know that I do want to pursue either or both is really great.

Please send me the material

And also I heard cpa gives you a chance to start your business more. Can you still do this with a CMA if you decide to do that in the future? I guess I'm looking for more freedom and options to call shots on things for myself and not having to rely on one place per say. I've already graduated and I know I enjoyed cost accounting more than any other of the accounting clases.

My question is which one is less stressful, and have more work/life balance and more free time, and where I can work remote? I know I wanna do private accounting regardless seems less hectic and less stressful less tight deadlines but I am curious.

hello i just wanna be a good financial accountant what do i need

Can we do CMA after 12 th class? Or graduation is compulsory for it? Please reply

If you want to practice accounting by your self, what is better, CPA or CMA?

Hi, I have an Advance Diploma in Business Administration and Ive been working as an Accountant for past 4 years. My queation is that can i still do the CMA or not?

I have not received the cheat sheet yet. Followed all the steps.

This might sound really mean, but The CMA sounds much more interesting and fulfilling. Taxes, auditing and regulation are very important, but sound boring as hell. Going through and checking to see if the financial statements are accurate as a career? Although extremely important, sounds so boring and unfulfilling. With the CMA, you’re helping make strategic decisions for the company to help them grow and improve. That personally sounds much more fulfilling.

CPA you said the requirement is a bachelors and same for CMA.. does CMA have 150 credit hour requirement like the CPA?
Thank you!

Hey Coach,

Im currently working in a big 4 Firm as an External auditor and leaning more towards CMA. Please guide me or correct me if my leaning is wrong.

Thanks for you top tier content.
Welling to learn more from u.

Sir I'm confused, I'm from India and currently working in a regulatory organisation..I need your guidance whether i should persue CPA or CMA

The CMA has merged with the CPA canada. If we choose the Finance/Performance management track in the CPA program, does that cover the CMA part?

Hi Coach,
I'm not from Commerce background but I did MBA in 2012 followed by around 5 years of experience in secondary market research/consulting research. However, since 2016 September, I have been on a parenting break with 1 yr of BABI course from Great Learning in between 2019-'20. We just moved to the States (California) in June 2022.
Will CPA or CMA help in resuming career? Need some honest career guidance

I am from Guyana, South America. I am wanting to take the CMA. How can I go about doing so? I have a masters in International Business but no accounting experience.

Bsma can be a CPA? Or there's a need to shift course?
Thanks please notice

I'd say the US CPA is one of the most prestigious degrees one can pursue. It's the ultimate accounting(financial) degree, period. Even here in India, having a US CPA almost guarantees a job in the big 4.

Hi Nathan i Indian and in India bachelor degree are normally 3 year in duration along with 6 semester expect engineering which has 4 year
So for cpa us 150 credit score neede d but duo to having 3 year course we end up having only 90 credit score so what should I do now to take cpa us exam please answer me
Thank you,

I am really afraid taking any accounting courses because im afraid that i will fail. im currently finding a course that can go with marketing and managerial field maybe management accounting will do for me. I hope this course will give a lot of job opportunities aside from just accounting jobs.

Thanks

Great content! I have completed 3 year internship as a Indian CA, So is that work experience gonna count for CMA.

I’m looking to open my own business and offer consulting for small businesses. Would a CMA or CPA be more appropriate.

Hello Thank you for your video very informative i have a question i have a Bac degree in Marketing do u think CPA is possible to start?

Corporate life and management is what I'm leaning towards. CMA is for me.

Hi Nathan. That's one of the best video I could find on CMA. I am an MBA graduate from finance (from India) and now looking to pursue CMA from Canada. Can you please make a video on the 'Management Gateway' stating what pattern would I have to follow after availing exemptions of being an MBA.

Can obtaining both CMA and EA licenses be as beneficial to obtaining a CPA? I know you still can't sign off on auditing reports, but you can still be considered a Tax Professional.
