Is CMA USA suitable for mathematics student?

CMA(USA) is an advanced professional course that requires good analytical skill. Over a period, it is strangely observed that students with good mathematics background have better ability to quickly analyse numbers and interpret them.

The major thrust in CMA is about analysis and decision making. Though most would say that if you are from commerce background, CMA would be easy, the following interesting pattern needs to be looked into:

No major benefit of commerce background: Though commerce background helps, its not of great help sue to a different exam pattern and depth of knowledge required. But being CA or Inter passed definitely helps.

Mathematics

CMA is majorly about analysis, strategy, decision making, financing which has a lot to do with numbers. A person with good mathematics knowledge can play better with numbers.

What About Other Topics

If you knew everything then why would you need a coach. Great teachers not only add value but creates value. A non-finance background with basic knowledge of mathematics is enough for us to add enormous amount of value. Remember, CMA requires different approach and knowledge depth, and it's easy to fill an empty glass.

Passing Percentage

It's surprising, but it's fact that many engineers from top colleges chooses MBA Finance later. The logic is simple, they have great mathematics to crack CAT, and amazing analytical skills required for quick analysis and decision making. Similarly, your background is not so significant as long you have been to the right teachers who takes YOURS SUCCESS SERIOUSLY.

How Do I Choose the Right Teacher?

First, read reviews. Second, do the basic research to find if the reviews are genuine. If you still cannot decide, choose teachers who are not just CMA(USA) but also Chartered Accountants with at least five years of teaching experience. You will see the difference in the first class. A CA with CMA(USA) with good teaching experience is an amazing combination.

The teacher would have excellent depth of knowledge and can address and handle your questions very effectively. Trust me, you will initially have 100's of questions. And most important you will acquire great knowledge both with respect of Indian scenario and USA. This is extremely important in interviews to know about Indian rules and regulations, like Accounting Standard, Income Tax and GST, at least the basics.
