All You Ever Needed to know before starting a Certified Management Accountant (CMA USA) Course

What is Management Accounting?

Management accounting is a profession that involves partnering in management decision making, devising planning and performance management systems, and providing expertise in financial reporting and control to assist management in the formulation and implementation of an organization’s strategy.

What is a Certified Management Accountant – CMA USA?

For nearly 50 years, the CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) certification has been the global benchmark for management accountants and financial professionals. Why? Because CMAs can explain the “why” behind numbers, not just the “what.” And that can give you greater credibility, higher earning potential, and ultimately a seat at the leadership table.

US CMA is a certification provided by Institute of Management Accountant – IMA USA.

What is Institute of Management Accountant – IMA USA?

IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) is the worldwide association of accountants and financial professionals in business. Founded in 1919, we are one of the largest and most respected associations focused exclusively on advancing the management accounting profession. We are committed to empowering our 125,000+ members—and those throughout the rest of the profession—to strengthen on-the-job skills, better manage companies, and accelerate careers. We invite our members to discover the myriad possibilities within the profession and build an actionable future in management accounting.

The CMA makes all the difference

Average Salary for US CMA Candidates

For many years, IMA has conducted the very popular salary survey of its members around
the world, enabling them to compare their compensation to others, assess the value of
education and certification, and more. This report presents high-level results from this
survey and compares compensation levels and job satisfaction across the globe. This is
the sixth year IMA conducted a single global salary survey, making global trends easier
to track and enhancing regional comparison. Individual region-specific and country
reports, including ones for the United States and China, will be posted on IMA’s Thought
Leadership website at www.imanet.org/salary_survey.

Key Insights:

  • Globally, the median total compensation is 63% higher for CMAs over non-CMAs. *
  • CMAs of all ages earn more than non-CMAs. Those aged 20-29 receive a median salary 33-34% greater than their non-CMA peers.*
  • 77% of survey respondents agree that the CMA strengthens their job security in the Digital Age and 82% believe it strengthens their ability to move across all areas of the business.
