Having CPA and passing the CFA Exam is my ultimate goal. Fortunately for me, taking both accounting and finance to get the hours during my undergrad was perfect as I really enjoyed both subjects. Eventually, I would love to also sit for the CFA exam. However, Accounting was always a more structured practice in my mind so that is why I went into that career path. Anyone on this forum have both, pursuing both, or know someone who does?

FAR - Bad Fail '11, Fail '12, Fail '13, PASS It's a miracle!
AUD - Fail, PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEC - PASS!!!!!!!!
REG - PASS!!!!!!!! And I'm done!

The main problem I have with the ROI on its application. If you are just taking it for personal growth and achievement go nuts. Otherwise the only people who really benefit are those in the investment community. Don't get me wrong, it's sexy. I just didn't see the return in it for me. Some corp finance jobs put it in as a requirement along with MBA/CPA but that's just from the prestige. If you do get it and have any interest you should look into treasury management. Large companies like to keep their investment strategies in house and being CPA/CFA means you could own a treasury function…
