CMA isn't notable. Throw in ASA in there.

What is the ASA?

Why do you say the CMA isn't notable?

I passed the CMA and even I don't think it's worth effort provided you are eligible for the CPA...I was just bored. CMA is only a good idea if you are too old to go to school to get the CPA education requirements in your state. Its main advantages are that you can pass it before you finish undergrad and as long as you are doing something finance or accounting related that's not bookkeeping you can get certified after a few years.
