Any thoughts? Where would this combo best fit in?

AM probably, maybe FI analyst, I dont really have a clue, just speculating from what ive read before.

best fit would problably be a guy who knows what he/she is doing and has previous experience similar to what is demanded in the role...

cfa is just an exam.....i don't think i'm a better fit for it if i passed....

CFA isn't just an exam - passing it represents that you learned a wide array of knowledge about oodles of areas of finance. It absolutely makes you better prepared for many jobs in finance.

i'll take your word on it....if i pass....i will assume i have learned a wide array of knowledge......

What the hell is a CPA in Finance? I thought CPA was an accounting credential.

My question is more interested in the value of accounting in finance. It's obviously valuable in banking, but I'm curious on other opinions.

if you have cpa + cfa L2 AND a stern mba as your handle implies, i would hope you would know the answer to your own question.
