Having CIMA holders in my family circle and seeing how convincing their career stories were, encouraged me to acquire this qualification to shape my future which today I realize was a prolific decision. The groundwork laid by CIMA has helped me to pursue both my Bachelors and Masters degrees.

From the time I found my interest in finance and accounting at university, I knew I wanted to acquire an internationally recognised professional qualification at some stage. I strongly believe a professional qualification of such a high standard sets a clear benchmark and advances you further from university studies, providing enhanced long-term career prospects.

CIMA offers both a theoretical framework and a practical toolbox for management accounting. Having obtained the CIMA qualification, I can speak confidently about any accounting issues. While the performance pillar is most closely related to what I do in my work, the financial pillar has been the one where I have improved my general education the most.
