Accounting qualifications (ACCA, CIMA, CPA) , finance qualifications (CFA, CAIA) and management qualifications (CIMA, PMP). you should take a qualification that matches your interests. The CFA makes you a chartered financial analyst with great investments knowledge. The ACCA qualification imparts wisdom in a very good range of accounting areas. It is treated like locally required qualifications in a number of nations across the planet.

I think its true by ur self but we also have a professional course that mean we need a profesional answer , i think is ACCA , looking for it

Hi Valiza, I want to put my suggestion on this regard. ACCA differ from CFA . First of all , YOu should give more importance to make decision to find where your aptitude is higher whether in  Accounting or In Financial Analysis , rather than demanding course in job market. In addition I also put my suggestion that ACCA there is more and more subtitute courses like CA , ACA , CMA , ICMA, Accounting degrees and postgraduations ect. But for CFA substitutes are minimum same time it is difficult as well .

All are apt to your aptitute and effort going to take ,

Both are good qualifications, it would be wrong saying one is good & the other is not. ACCA is a diversive qualification as it covers the bits of of every accounting area like Management Accounting, Tax, Audithing, Financial Reporting & even Financial Analysis while CFA focuses only one area of Financial Investments in great detail. It depends upon the employer. The employers who are focused on expansion, implementing newer investments are likely to prefer CFA while the employers who need people with great management related skills & financial reporting, tax & auditing skills are likely to prefer ACCA. In large organisations both ACCA & CFA work together & provide sufficient services to the entity in both investment & other areas. Both are required.
