Re: Ask me about the CFA program
[ QUOTE ]
This question is really unrelated to the CFA certification, but nevertheless, maybe you or someone here has an answer. I'll be a CPA shortly, but I was curious about the difficulty/value of getting a CFP certification. Any thoughts?

I have no experience myself with the CFP certification, but from what I've been told you'll have no difficulty passing it if you are getting your CPA. There's a lot less material and it's easier to absorb. The exams have higher pass rates and are less quantitative than either the CPA or CFA exams.
The CFP certification is often most appropriate for people in sales-like positions as I understand it. Brokers, etc. I think it's pretty rare for someone to pursue both a CPA and a CFP.
