Would CFA help Break into Finance :Business Dev/Marketing background / 31 yrs

Question

Hello all! thank you in advance for your answers!

Realized, maybe late, that finance is my area of preference in the long term. After working in marketing/Biz dev -and a master marketing- saw it was not for me.

PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVES:           1) break into finance and 2) eventually work as a finance manager STRATEGY:               Improve my profile with a Finance Certification, among other things such as to look for finance-related jobs, etc                                                                                                                                               AGE:            31 years old                                                                                                                               EDUCATION: Bachelor Business Management, Master in Marketing.                                                         WORK EXPERIENCE with EDUCATION TIME LINE: PwC Tax one year while bachelor, BACHELOR BUSINESS, British American Tobacco Acccounting 1 year, 3 entreprenurial projects (1 year or less each in part or mostly due to country hiperinflation - socialist government - economic/humanitarian crisis) then emigration to Europe, MASTER MARKETING(Europe), position in Marketing Agency while studying master(Europe), Accounting AP(Current employment to switch into finance - Europe)

General PROFILE: Business Development / Marketing

QUESTIONS

-Would the CFA give me an edge and make me more competitive to reach my professional objectives, taking into account my education, professional background and also work-competition by candidates with 100% finance background/TOP international universities/good work experience?

-Are there other certificates, from your perspective, better suited than CFA to reach my objetives based on my education and work experience?

----Any other advice or comments, critical, negative, helpful, encouraging, are welcome, honesty is appreciated----.
