Certified Management Accountant (CMA)

In partnership with IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants), the Controllers Council offers the CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) certification to all management accountants and corporate finance professionals.

For 50 years, the CMA® program has provided greater credibility, higher earning potential, and ultimately a seat at the leadership table. The CMA certification equips you and your team members with the skills needed to help drive your organization’s success.
