The CFA requires its holder to have a few years of experience under their belt. As far as money certs go, the CFA is above and beyond the best of the best. No other designation is as recognized and important as the CFA. The CFP is second to it (most get a CFP if doing client-facing work). The MBA will do more for you if you plan on doing work outside of money management. And most CFAs that move their way up the ranks also have an MBA. I suggest getting the MBA and then if you move into money management your company will likely help you get a CFA. In the world of money management, the CFA does carry more weight than a CPA.
