BE A US CMA
CMA (Certified Management Accountant) is a globally recognized management accounting credential offered by IMA (Institute of Management Accountants), US.
The CMA certification has been the global benchmark for management accountants and financial professionals. Why? Because CMAs can explain the "why" behind numbers, not just the "what." And that can give you greater credibility, higher earning potential, and ultimately a seat at the leadership table.
With academic content organized over just 2 exam parts and the designation achievable over less than 9 months, the CMA designation offers an extensive value proposition:
International Credibility
Strong Knowledge Base in Finance & Accounting
Significant career progression opportunity
Other benefits: Leadership skills, international perspective, elite professional
CMA Course USPs:
- Academic Advantage (2 parts, single-level exam, 75% MCQs)
- Convenience (computerized online exams, exams held over 6 months every year)
- Short Course duration (can be completed within 9 months)
Management Accountants help create value, rather than simply measuring it!
CMA helps you to be “future-proof” as you will increasingly be expected to provide "insight" and "foresight"

Why only 2 exams on CMA versus 13-20 exams on global public accounting qualifications?
- US professional qualifications “COMPLEMENT” UNIVERSITY EDUCATION – e.g., to be a CPA, CMA or CFA, a university degree is mandatory
- Therefore, these are crisper in content and focus only on skill-gaps that are needed to be a F&A professional
- Designed to be pursued alongside a full-time job and to facilitate the career progression for professionals
- Indian (or even UK) professional qualifications tend to “SUBSITUTE” UNIVERSITY EDUCATION – e.g., you can be an Indian CA, CMA or CS without being an graduate!
- Therefore, these are lengthy and also encompass what a candidate would have covered (or simultaneously covers) in a university degree
THE CMA CERTIFICATE
EARN THE LETTERS “CMA” TO SHOWCASE AFTER YOUR NAME!
- Professionals with 2+ years of experience only need to clear the 2-part CMA exams to earn the CMA designation.
- IMA also has a student membership category whereby students can clear the 2-part CMA exams along with their graduation; and later, meet the other requirements for the CMA certificate. Given this provision, many students clear the CMA exams even before they graduate and get eligible for differential placements with MNCs given their status as IMA members who have cleared the CMA exams.
