Hi, CFA (USA) or CPA (USA) is meritorious qualifications recognized internationally as well commendably recognized in USA. If you are Planning to Work for investment Biggies like Goldman Sachs or J.P Morgan, or if you want to have your career in asset management, portfolio management, or you aim to become a Fund Manager, Then Blindly Take up the course given Chartered Financial Analyst (USA) . But if you are Nuts & Bolt Accountant, want to become a partner abroad with one of the Big 4’s. Then Take up CPA.

I wrote my CA Final exams in June 2009, I am a Student of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (U.K). If you want real taste of Management accounting then join this Course.

Best of Luck
