CPA or CMA?
Weird question, I know, please forgive me, but does your office allow you to wear shorts or open toed shoes in the summer? It gets stupid hot here and the fact that we can't wear summertime appropriate clothing in my office is pretty enraging to me.
When a coworker sends you a hello or a hey on Slack, do you respond with another polite greeting or do you wait for them to send more information, letting you know what they want?
How late is too late to be sending emails to the team? Sometimes I'm working later into the evening and send out emails so I don't forget. I'm sending these emails to the team's work emails and I've made it clear I don't expect responses until the next day. But sometimes people still complain. Just turn off your notifications when you leave work. What's the big deal?
Have a question on AI. If AI is so good at what it does… what would be the point of a Big 4? Can’t any small firm take this AI and be just as specialized efficient as a Big 4? Couldn’t it create an explosion of entrepreneurship? More competition ?

No one cares about CMA

CPA.. CMA is fine but it’s limited in comparison. Might as well get the more useful one.
CMA will get you a job in accounting. CPA will build you a career or a business of your own.
I see the AICPA marketing team is going their jobs..
Sigh...
The only people who think the CMA has any value are other CMAs, of which there aren’t many.
CPA, the tests seem like an unclimbable mountain but believe in yourself and put the hours in and you’ll be fine easy
CPA all day all night...  it would be pretty obvious with the CPA. The tax returns represent the client audits. You could have your own practice. Hell CMA for a company would you rather have cpa?

Others with CMA’s typically have CPA first. I got both just for the clout and it’s helped me with salary negotiations. Otherwise I don’t think CMA is necessary.
CMA is 90% of CPA and is too costly and wont give you benefits more than a CPA does. If I were you, go for CPA or CIA because controls are everything!
