In Reply To: I am in the same situation. I am in the audit practice of a Big4 - I got my firm to pay for the CFA. I passed level I last year and am waiting on the results for II. It certainly can't hurt and it gives you street cred if you have an interest in working in financial services or with derivatives on some engagements. It does make a lot of people nervous about your potential departure though, so be careful.
Message: Just curious... which accounting firm is willing to pay for the CFA? Also, how do you plan to fulfilling the experience requirement for the charter since audit experience is unacceptable?
