Hi CFSblitz,
Good luck with this journey. I am also a CPA MBA looking to take the CFA exam. My background is audit with PWC and now with a private equity group in an accounting function. I have been given the opportunity to dabble in the budgeting, long term model, and business analysis process and I have enjoyed it. I am looking to get into more of a business transactional role. Do you think a CFA would be the right step into this part of my career? Is it even possible for someone from an accounting role to move into the mergers and acquisitions realm?
