Hi
Congratulations… That’s great
I did Bachelors of Engineering ( ECE ), MBA( Finance & Marketing ) and partly qualified( ICWAI ) in India.
Then I moved to United States after marriage… then I persuade Enrolled agent (EA) and I’m currently working as a Master tax advisor in a Tax firm.
But my heart is in the accounting and finance. After all the research from your most informative site, I was stuck at whether to choose CPA or CMA.
My aim is to work in a corporate sector being knowledgeable in all streams of managerial administration i.e departments accounting, taxes and finance. With EA I’m confident with taxes, now I would like to brush my Finance and accounting skills with the US Specifications.
Please give me a suggestion! If possible few pro’s and con’s of CPA and CMA
Will be looking forward to hearing from you.
You doing a great job Stephanie appreciate it.
Thank you.
ReplyHi Devi,
Sorry to reply late, but sure we cover both CPA and CMA and yours is a great question.
My gut feeling is that CPA is more suitable for you long term as long as you can fulfill the increasingly complicated education and experience requirements.
Please start with this page:

And there will be links depending on which path you’d like to explore. Thanks! Stephanie
ReplyHi Ravi,
Congratulations..
I am a semi qualified CA and working as an Assistant Manager in an MNC but not satisfied with the current job as I have no proper qualification to show off, for various reasons.
I came across CMA and since I can finish the course in just 6 months (of course with lots of affords), i want to choose and study it.
Could you please clarify that how similar the subject is when compared to our CA final syllabus.
If it is similar, I can spend some time to clear it without much affords when compared to a non CA candidate.
Please let me know if my perspective is correct?
ReplyHi Kumara Swamy,
I presume hari isn’t quite active in this thread, but this is my perspective for your quesiton.
CMA is quite similar to SFM & AMA paper of CA – Final.
The issue is conceptual clarity isn’t tested in CA papers. Their focus is largely on memory.
But, CMA exam is largely tested on concepts and application of such concepts.
Also, as such you will find it easier since you would have some knowledge on the topics of CMA.
It does require a lot of efforts for both Non-CA and CA candidates.
But it is quite possible to clear it in less than 6 months (like Hari) if you plan and prepare well.
All the best 🙂

ReplyHi Vasna,
You can check out Wiley CMA product here:
https://ipassthecmaexam.com/wiley-cma-review/
The page is on Wiley CMA Review but you can just get the test bank in case you have been using other review materials.
Cheers,
Stephanie
Hey Stephanie
Thank you . But my question whether you need additional test bank to practise . I feel the test bank given by Wiley is not sufficient . So I have to try another test bank .
Hi Vasna, if so I suggest Gleim test bank. It’s by far the most comprehensive (and toughest) set.
ReplyHari cleared with a score of 460 & 440 if my memory serves me correct 🙂
ReplyHello.
I was wondering if I could get contact number of any of the individual who has already completed the course of CMA.
I wanted to ask someone personally how useful the course would be.
So please if you could provide me his/her details it would be very helpful.
Thankyou
Hi Harshada,
I cannot disclose their contact details. But you can stop by the IMA chapters in your area and there should be lots of people who pass the CMA exam. Good luck! Stephanie

ReplyHey Hari !!
We have spoken quite a while before, but congrats again.
Keep going 🙂
ReplyYes Adithan, are you the one who identifies Hari as the Priscilla S Payne awardee at the time? 🙂
My thanks to you as well — without that I wouldn’t have realized and wouldn’t have invited Hari to share.
Yes Stephanie, I did ask him to check out if he had won since he got a really good score. 🙂
And thanks to you too Stephanie, you are maintaining a wonderful and informative site which helps students & also, you’re following a hands-on approach in helping those in need.
Thanks again 🙂
