Hi all,
I am currently a student majoring in finance and accounting to satisfy the minimum credit requirements for an Oregon CPA. I am not interested in going the public accounting route. I would like to pass the CPA and then combine it with an FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis) certification because that is the career I would like. I feel as though the CPA is a great way for me to make myself more valuable to a company’s finance department. If any of you know a certification that would better compliment the CPA for a career in corporate finance I would appreciate your input. Also I am considering a small local CPA firm for my experience over a Big 4 because I am not interested in staying for very long. I feel as though I would have a competitive chance at a Big 4 with my involvement on campus, in the community and my GPA, but it would be immoral of me to waste their time and money (on training) just to leave once I got my certification.
Any advice??
