At Grand Canyon University, we are committed to helping students find their purpose. At the Colangelo College of Business, that includes exploring career options within the fields of accounting and finance. Last spring, we welcomed speakers from the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) to share the value of the CMA designation for a management accountant.
Jeff Thomson, the CEO of the IMA, shared with our students that CMAs make one-third higher compensation than non-certified accounting professionals. Now that alone seems to be a good reason to consider pursuing the “other” accounting designation!
