I am interested in getting a CMA. I do have question on the work experience requirement. I have been a staff accountant for almost two years. I saw the handbook for job description that meets requirement but felt like It was kind of broad. Do I need to meet all the job description requirements or just some?
I’m currently an MBA student. Would it make sense to still get a CMA certification for a career on the Finance or Banking side? Also, can you make a video comparing CMA vs CFA?
Hi Liam. It depends on your goals and the field you want to work in. The combination of CMA and EA is a good choice if you are working as a Tax Analyst. The CMA will provide you with knowledge in financial management and accounting, while the EA will give you expertise in tax matters. This combination will allow you to have a strong profile in both fields and expand your professional opportunities.
It may help to think about the career you're aiming for and also the industry, if you have one in mind. Then, identify which one is better suited to help you achieve your long term career goals.
Hi Vasanthi! To help you assess the top CMA review courses, check out the side-by-side comparison table on this page cmaexamacademy.com/best-cma-review-course-comparison/
Sir, I just started CMA coaching on this academic year.. and there is, I'm the only one student who doing CMA after 12th.. everyone else undergraduated or postgraduated.. so it's bit hard to understand the basic, because they didn't expain too much.. so what should I do now..?
It depends on industry, company and position. In most instances, an MBA is mainly needed for investment banking, hedge fund management, private equity, etc. For management accounting, the CMA is the best choice.
@@Cmacoach no the jobs not require both but the MBA alone is not sufficient for the better career as the supply of MBA's is more than need so I wnt some value addition to MBA as I'm in the central University of india which rank among top 30 MBA clgs & has very low fee for MBA that's why I'm looking for a proffesional course that makes a good combination with MBA finance
Thanks for clarifying. Along with an MBA, if you want to work in taxation and audit, my suggestion is to go for the CPA. If you want to work in managerial accounting, opt for the CMA.
What if during my MBA I also manage to get my CMA. So when I graduate I have the MBA and also the CMA. Will this help me to even get a much higher salary and position with both of them on my resume instead of only 1?

Hey Nathan i have completed my cma (us) months ago...can you please suggest me which professional qualification should i enroll for that will best suit with cma usa
Faizan, the CMA is more than enough in this case. Build work experience for a while before investing in more designations. Once you have built experience, you'll know if another designation is needed to help you move to the next phase of your career.
