The CMA Advantage
If you’re comparing accounting programs, business management classes, or a management degree program, the CMA (Certified Management Accountant) certification from IMA stands out to hiring managers and signals proven finance leadership that employers trust.
With the CMA, you’ll:
- Turn accounting skills into strategic finance leadership and decision‑making.
- Build analytical, budgeting, and financial planning confidence for real business results.
- Prove you’re ready for bigger roles and faster promotions in FP&A, controllership, and finance management.
