Yeah.. I know these two are different certs..

But which of these two is more appropiate for starting a career in finance in general? As in which of these two would be more useful for various appointments in finance? I am a newbie at this so don't flame me please Mr. Green

CFA

DriftingGuy SG

But CFA sounds very specialized right? Whereas ACCA is more of a general thing?

acca-- a lot of ppl studying

cfa -- a lot executives studying also so depends on ur career

FireIce SG

ACCA is mainly dealing with the money itself.....

CFA can be higher level like financial planning, consulting.....
