Certified Public Finance Officer
The Certified Public Finance Officers Program of the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) is a broad educational self-study program designed to verify knowledge in the disciplines of government finance. To earn the designation of CPFO, candidates must pass a series of five examinations covering the major disciplines of public finance. A candidate has seven years in which to successfully complete the program. Once earned, the CPFO designation is maintained by participating in 30 hours of continuing professional education each year.
Certified Management Accountant
Achieving the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) credential demonstrates your mastery of financial planning, analysis, control, decision support, and professional ethics. These skills are critical to the success of finance teams working within organizations—this focus distinguishes the CMA from other certifications and degrees.
