CMA is a well-known course among management and cost accounting professionals. The Certificate issued by the Institute of Management Accountants - IMA, provides a deep understanding of managerial decision making and cost measuring concepts. It also includes an introduction to fintech subjects helping the professionals be industry and tech-ready. US CMAs are considered highly desirable for FP&A job roles (financial reporting, financial planning, financial analysis, and financial decision making). The US CMA curriculum also focuses on developing and testing skills required to perform the aforementioned jobs. Many American CFOs choose to be US CMAs themselves and prefer to hire US CMAs in their teams. CMAs expertise in USGAAP and understand its distinctions from IFRS. In most cases, multinational companies registered with the SEC in the USA have to provide audited annual financial statements per USGAAP. These financial statements are prepared by the internal finance team of the company. Since CMAs are well qualified in USGAAP and understand the SEC reporting requirements well, companies preparing their financial statements using USGAAP prefer to hire US CMAs for the job. The average salary package for a fresher CMA with no experience ranges from INR 4.5-6 Lacs p. a. Of course, with experience the salary increases, and depending upon the role, compensations will vary. Overall, jobs of US CMA in India pay comparably and sometimes even better than traditional Indian finance qualifications such as ICWA. For more information on this visit Miles Education's website.
