      @@salman.salu11 The education cost depends on who you use for your coursework. There are different providers like Dalton, College for Financial Planning, Brett Danko, etc.. After you earn a college degree, complete the CFP® coursework, pass the exam, pass the background check , and agree to code of conduct, and get approved , you pay a fee of approximately $455 to make it official. The fee is due annually to stay current along with continuing education. To be able to use the marks, you also have to have a minimum amount of experience in the industry

      Hi there.! It seems you can do all the above courses. But as a mba aspirant I'd suggest you to do your courses in this manner→ MBA→CA→ACCA→CFA, etc. Because after MBA if you're able to manage your studies along with work (if required) and try to complete CA. After that ACCA offers CAs to exempt 9 papers out of 13 papers. So you can easily clear those 4 papers and become a member of ACCA family. Then you know.! You're at the top and if you want you can clear all others courses such as CFA, CMA/ICWA, CPA, CFM, FRM, CIMA, Investment banking,etc etc
      Hope this suggestion helps. Anyway, finally it's all your choices because it's your life. As a well wisher that's all my thoughts mentioned above.
      Thank You. Best of luck in your currier✌️

      @sixstringriffs 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I earned my CFP designation this year in Canada. In my experience a CFP holder is most likely a financial advisor that sells mutual funds/stocks and may or may not be a life insurance rep too. You can also be a CFP that designs financial plans for their clients but doesn't sell specific investments/insurance "a fee only planner". Like the video mentions it is entrepreneurial based in that you need to attract clients and sell yourself. I'm sure their is also CFP's that work on a team of financial advisors and may support them with planning - maybe earn a salary in this type of position. Either way you're dealing with people all the time and trying to sell your services and various financial products.
      I typically see individuals with the CFA designation working at mutual fund company's as part of a portolio management team. Rarely see a CFA holder as a financial advisor but they're out there.

      Hi Steven. Many people mistake the names since "Chartered Financial Analyst" is a less intuitive acronym than "Certified Financial Advisor." The CFA is geared more towards portfolio theory, whereas the CFP is focused on managing/planning all aspects of an individuals wealth.

I'm pretty sure most recommendations I've seen is to work in IB and then transfer into HF or PE because they're most likely looking for those with proven experience. If I were to make a suggestion, I'd pick the master of finance as long as it's from a top tier school. If it's not top tier, get both the degree and a CFA, but chances may be slim regardless, especially with no direct experience.
