i dont think it is a good idea at all.
if u r mba(finance), then start job n do CIMA, ACCA, or CFA along with it. ur job experience shall count towards the required job experience. all the above three qualifiations will give u very good salary n good jobs in ur future.
if u go for CA, n let us assume tht u clear all exams within time, even then u will ve to take articles tht means no job n no salary for next four yrs.
but doing CIMA,ACCA,CFA dznot need articles. furthermore, after 4-5 yrs whn u will end up with charters of these qualifications, ur own job experience n MBA qualification will ve given u very good job n salary. or even if u donot do any further education but keep on job in good company, u can reach good positions n salary with in good time.
i peresonally know many such ppl in my company and in others as well who r not CA or ACMA etc. they r good MBAs n ve good grip on their areas. their salaries reached to extrtemely handsome amounts within 4-5 yrs.
time n trends ve changed n if u see the classified of DAWN on sunday, focus on good companies tht need finance professionals. in most of the cases since recently, they r calling for "CA/ACMA/ACCA/MBA(Finance) with 4-5 years experience..." at least i find this or similar rerquirements by many companies.
i m working with a leading oil company. my head of the dept is a qualified CA since 1983. he told us in our orientation tht whn he started off the job, he had to learn many non-financial areas of business as well. he said tht today, businesses want good professionals who r good in decision making n can add value no matter u r CA or ACCA or MBA.
believe me, most large companies ve implemented good ERPs, like SAP. whtever v learn in books with so difficulty, especiallly from accounting&finance areas, the SAP does all of it in just one second. all u need is to give right directions to it n ERPs generate reports!!!
initially i was a bit frusatrated tht SAP is doing all tht i was keen to do, but this is the fact of today. today, companies need good all-rounders.
this is why i really dont think u need CA n its articles. u need good company with good professional environment n good MIS systems. the experience u gain in such environment is more imp for u. u can do any qualification like ACMA,CIMA etc along side n keep inplementing it in ur real job.
now u can decide for urself.
