Currently I have a job as a financial analyst with a bachelor's degree in Finance. I want to set myself so that eventually I can be a CFO as that's my dream job. I'm unsure as to what path I need to take next to set myself up for the best success, I have the following options:
- go back for my bachelor's degree in accounting which would take the longest and get my CPA after this
- get my master's in accounting at a college that would accept a related degree (since I don't have an accounting degree)
I'm unsure as to what to do, I've heard mixed opinions on the name of the college you go to being important on your resume, I need something that I can do online as their aren't many in school options close by to me so I'm limited there as well.
Just wanted to get some various opinions. I am leaning toward the master's route as many job posting I've seen say either Master's or CPA preferred
