CPA completed. Moved from audit to FP&A. Took CFA Level 1. Moved again to corporate treasury. Finally moved into strategic finance. Each step built on the last. Zero shortcuts.

Accounting to FP&A to treasury is the optimal corporate finance path for those who want strategic impact early.

CFA and CPA together is a very powerful combination in Malaysia. Opens both industry and institutional finance.
