Success Benefits A CPA Earns At Big 4s

For professionals in specialized roles like statutory auditors, tax auditor, transfer pricing auditor, cost auditor, F&A certifications are a mandate. One of the advantages of holding credentials is it can help employees achieve authority to independently handle assignments and climb the professional ladder fast.

For instance, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) offers US CPA certifications for certified public accountants to perform core accounting roles. Those keen to understand cost management, financial analysis, and decision making, US Certified Management Accountant (US CMA) from IMA builds incredible leaders for the organizations. As global accounting certifications leverage high-value competencies for organizations, it makes their workforce more industry-ready.

Hence, having a US CPA while working in an organization is a treasure. Compared to a non-certified accountant, they champ at both IFRS and US GAAP and can perform as strategic partners for organizations and add value to services like public accounting, tax, forensic accounting, bookkeeping, and other outsourceable services.
