Im confusing, hope someone can help. There are few routes for me after i completed degree in accounting and finance.

1) Master in Finance then ACCA then CFA
2) ACCA then CFA

i would like to have both accounting and finance knowledge....may i know how long are MIF, ACCA and CFA takes? assume that i can pass all the papers. I will choose to study for full time in order to focus better.

What if i got exemptions 9 papers from ACCA, still need to take so long to finish ACCA? i thought it is about 5-6 months to complete ACCA after my degree?

thanks for your information, would like to know where is better for me to work when im taking ACCA/CFA papars? I think BIG 4 is too stress for working&studying people.

what if i said i dont have final destination yet, my path is get ACCA, CFA, Masters in Finance all these certificate and related experience, then i will go and get a law degree (not to be a lawyer lah), then maybe will study business in IT later on. My purpose to study is just add value to myself instead of getting a job. I know it is quite ridiculous for working people like you guys, just some of my thoughts now, it might change depends on the situation. Would like to get opinion from you, what do you think of all these? Is it really stupid/crazy thoughts like what my frens said? Actually it was inspired by my auntie who is a single mum with a daughter, she is a CIMA holder and now she is doing Master in Business IT at aged 45. I truly respect her to the max.

Why CIMA?

No, i dont mean to follow her pathway, just inspired by her dedication of studies. I think ACCA is the trend now. haha

I just want to work as consultant/advisor of anything instead of working in an office, i prefer work freedomly where i can arrange my schedule follow what i like. Studies others just to borden my knowledge or maybe can apply in the future as well.
