As experts in strategic and financial management, certified management accountants organize the information necessary for making decisions, design systems and implement effective action plans. Contrary to other accounting professionals, who focus on financial information, theoretical applications and auditing, the role of CMAs is more future-oriented. Their mastery of best management practices puts them in the vanguard.
Present in all sectors of economic activity, in small and large businesses, from the service sector to the manufacturing industry, public administration and education, CMAs are accountants with added value.
CMAs are trained to see the “big picture” as well as spot emerging trends. They deliver innovative strategies in every area that affects the value of products and services: quality, performance, cost, and customer responsiveness.
Here are some of the tasks they may be entrusted with:
- initiating and guiding major changes
- directing and mobilizing teams
- planning and managing projects with substantial budgets
- planning and coordinating system implementation
- optimizing business processes.
