    Hi Anil,
    If you're planning to become an self-employed CPA, it would certainly provide you with excellent skills and insight that could make you a better CPA, but it's unlikely that you'd see a commensurate increase in your income to offset the loss of earning years and experience. An MBA with an accounting focus would probably be a better choice.
    If you're really not sure what you want to do with the degree, an MBA may provide more flexibility, but it would be less of a differentiator if you were going for a hardcore Financial position.
    Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up if you found this useful.
