CMA vs CGMA - The Quickest Path To Career Success!

CMA vs CGMA - The Quickest Path To Career Success! // With a new entrant into the management accounting certification space, the CMA vs CGMA is a big question!

One of the big considerations is the earning potential with each designation. CGMA salary vs CMA salary is another big question people wonder about and along with CGMA career vs CMA career. People looking to work in management accounting normally go for the CMA designation. However, the CGMA has been a new option and accounting professionals have questions about it.

The CGMA can be obtained via the CIMA or AICPA route. Both have unique paths that I’ll go over in this video. Either path requires that you study for and pass the CGMA exam. The CMA accounting designation from the IMA, has been the top choice among accountants for nearly 50 years. I have many videos in this channel about how to become a CMA so you can watch those any time after watching this one about CMA or CGMA.

Thanks for watching! Which designation are you thinking of pursuing first? CMA or CGMA?

[tanyaannbrown]

Thanks for explaining the two designations!

[jerarrdpandohe]

Interesting video, I'm currently a Managerial Accounting student. I'm thinking about perusing a Cgma because the CMA designation is not popular in my country(South Africa) but it was nice to get some insight on a similar similar designation

I prefer the CMA as it is better for those based out of the USA. CGMA is too expensive and still developing a brand image that is respected by companies.... BTW, I like your channel, I have decided to go after the CMA and it helps to see your videos. Keep it up

CIMA is predominantly UK based professional qualification, it has completely different educational landscape comparing to its American counterpart; As a CIMA qualified accountant (more than a decade ago), I always see myself as a ACMA and find the title of 'CGMA' a bit of scam, the way I see it it's just a dishonourable marketing practice that aims to maximize the the number of intakes regardless of their individual background and career aspirations, which is completely unnecessary; Well, 【less known】 is good, recognition in a small circle and know your trade, more be proud of it, works for me~~

I have been working in corp America as an accountant for 30+ years. I haven't needed to become a CPA to date because of the years of experience and specialty. I am finding that now after all of these years I am being asked to be a CPA which I am pursuing now. I am looking at these certs to see if these would also be worthwhile. Salary is not the issue. It is the opportunity to get to the next level. Just wondering what you might be seeing in industry. I'm not necessarily concerned about international either. Controller or CFO is the next step and I am tired of not being able to check the CPA box.

Two ways to obtain cgma: take 12 exams and 3 years of work experience, or just pay $5.

[thabangmakgatouncensored]

As a cgma a student, I’d advise anyone who watch this videos to go to the CIMA website and read the information there or chat to an assistant on the website because I don’t seem to agree with most of what you said. For example salary is provided properly on the website, in fact I was looking at it just yesterday, all detailed from entry level

[StephanieKremic]

The message and steps you offer are direct and easy to follow.

[CoachViva]

Great explaining the opportunities you can get from the two!

Great Video 🙂 CIMA and CGMA both are different courses? and which one is better. As per my work experience and qualification i am getting decent exemptions in CIMA and only give 2 case study exam but i will get CGMA degree. So my question is - It's worth to do CGMA or good to obtain for CIMA with all 11 exams. Also what's ur opinion, which is best - CMA II CIMA II CGMA. please advice.

[venson]

[akash.kbalagangadaran]

[TheRealEstateInformant]

[Mad]

Thank you for the video...

I'm 10 years experienced with Finance and Logistics field.. Will i get opportunity after finishing CIMA?

[fatimaali]

I have completed Bachelor's degree in Commerce. I'm choosing CMA US. Is it preferable that i do MBA alongside or after CMA? And which MBA is best suitable after CMA? Will it make a good value addition to my resume or is CMA US more than enough to get a good job?

[amudala]

Hello sir
I'm pursuing CGMA right now, anything that you could help me out, need to talk !

[jask.]

Really confused between CPA Canada, CMA, CIMA and CGA.. Online it has been stated that CPA is integrating 40 degrees within itself (2014). Just very confused as to what would be best suitable
