Correction: For CMA, the 2 year work experience can be after the exam, and doesn’t need to be prior to the exam.

I have both CPA and CMA. I work for manufacturing industry. CPA got me the job, CMA helps me to do day to day job.
-
I have had a CMA for over 10 years. Most employers have no idea what it is. Almost all CPAs think it's worthless. I tried to explain it that CMAs work primarily on corporate accounting and CPAs do tax and audit. Controllers are best served as CPAs, finance managers up through CFOs might be better as CMAs.

Yes! I was waiting for this video. Simple but very informative. I want to thank you for your accounting interview help videos just landed my first accounting job in the A/R department of a global company. Looking forward to more videos in the future!

Thank you so much for creating this content. Glad I stayed to the end because I really needed to hear the message. I was stuck for so long but this video changed my perspective, and I feel like I can finally move forward. Thank you.

This is the best explanation I have ever seen on the subject! I would love to know your input on a CMA - EA combination. Again, you did such an amazing job. Many of the times that CPA's have given me input on the CMA, they almost always snub the CMA and say that it is second rate when compared to the CPA. I saw a much more honest approach from you. The comparison between the Mercedes and BMW totally paints the picture. Thanks!
