Can you tell me the difference between CFA and CPA?

CFA and CPA are two kinds of people. CFA is mainly engaged in secondary market investment. For example, investment analysts of securities companies are the main category, and CPA is an accounting examination, which are two different things. Being admitted has direct benefits for work.

If it is not the financial industry, CFA is of little use. Because CFA needs 4 years of investment industry experience to get the certificate.

Of course, as a student, getting CFA level I can show that you are very enthusiastic about the investment industry, so you have more opportunities to enter the investment bank. But it is basically impossible to change careers by CFA.
