Hi,
A Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is completely different from a Chartered Accountants (CA).
CFA is more perceived as a course aimed towards corporate finance and financial investments. There is a greater demand for accountant professionals than financial analysts. Therefore in an organization the CA's outnumber the people handling finance areas like treasury operations, corporate finance and project evaluation by the ratio of 5:1 and even 10:1. the additional advantage is that a CA can go into a private practise or join a specialized accounting firm after a few years of experience. They have job opportunities, both in the industry as well as in specialized accountancy firms and as private practitioners.
A qualified CFA candidate can also become either a financial analyst or an independent investment consultant. A CA will compete only with another CA, but in the case of CFA he will be competing with the non- CFAs who will be practicing. I feel that CFA will be most profitable in combination with some other degree, by this I am not discounting any CFA stand alone. Maybe, a CFA along with an MBA will have more opportunities in this industry. CFA is more of a value addition degree which channels your knowledge and it is more focused and is a value addition to your skill sets.
