A Master's degree in Finance or a related field is recommended but not necessary. You can also have an MBA and then opt for PhD in Finance. You must however demonstrate excellent knowledge and quantitative skills, relevant experience and interest in Finance and high level inclination towards research and academics and the given subject. Assuming from your question that you are looking for a Ph.D in USA, please note that you must give the GMAT and TOEFL as a part of the admissions process. Having a FRM will definitely add a value.
Some of the best B-schools you can consider are:
1. NYU Stern.
2. University of Michigan.
3. Eli Bro

It is good that you are considering to pursue CFA or FRM. Both are US certifications and recognized globally. But do not make a blunder to start both at the same time. So, I will straight away come to the point. If you are ready to study hard for 3 to 4 years then go for CFA. If you do not have patience and want to do something good in 1 year, then go for FRM.
If you are targeting both CFA and FRM then first do FRM and then go for CFA. Because entire FRM course covers half of the syllabus of CFA Level 1. Both CFA and FRM will give good career options as financial analyst in BFSI sector.
