CMA is a professional accounting designation. A Certified Management Accountant is a business professional with skills in accounting, strategy and management. A CMA uses these skills to analyze business, develop strategy, and manage the best course of action.

Beyond The Numbers

Business is based on numbers. A Certified Management Accountant understands how the numbers impact every area of a business. Yet, a CMA goes beyond the numbers.

CMAs think strategically. They integrate all the information to develop innovative approaches to managing money, people, and projects.

CMAs are both creative right brain and analytical left brain thinkers. This makes CMAs valuable in every part of an organization. And, in the entrepreneurial sector, the creativity of CMAs helps to create inspiring new businesses.

The Big Picture

CMAs look at the entire organization. They use an integrated approach to determine what the company should do and to support why it should be done.

CMAs are decision-makers – leading businesses in the right direction. They analyze the business and provide advice. But more than that, CMAs apply their integrated, strategic skills to achieve higher levels of performance.
