CA or CFA
 

I am currently in a FP&A role without prior working experience in audit. Also, as my employer does not sponsor for the CA, I have not taken the SQP papers. I am considering if I should take the papers but I will have to pay for the costs and am concerned if my experience will qualify given that it is not traditional accounting/reporting work. Another consideration is to take the CFA paper as I am interested to jump to investment related roles if there is available opportunity. Similarly, I will have to pay for the costs too.

Depends on what you want to do.

I don’t think you need either for FP&A.

Thanks for sharing, would like to ask is this because of what you have observed or experienced?

I’m not the poster who replied u
But I think we have to be clear what type of FP&A you’re working on, for example, retail? Financial? Property?

And where’s your acc deg from?
Are you fresh grad?

Without audit background, or professional services background, it might be painful later on

financial service, acc from local uni, 2 year exp

financial services FP&A with no audit background ??

Just take the CFA, and the CAIA then
