The CIMA Professional Qualification will give you the power to help accelerate your career.
CIMA is not just about getting your career off to a good start. If you're looking to rise rapidly through the ranks, CIMA will give you the skills to succeed at a senior level.
The skills that you develop through your CIMA study will give you a wide choice of career options. They will allow you to work in a range of different industries. Our members work in diverse areas such as business analysis, management consulting, operations management and project management to name a few. Many of the world's top Finance Directors and Chief Executives are CIMA members.
Read on to find out how these CIMA students and members have progressed their careers.
"I chose CIMA as it has a larger proportion of study focused on commercial awareness and business strategy. This is ideal for my role which has more of a commercial and marketing slant."
Marcelo Cespedes, CIMA student
Regional Finance Manager, Scotland
Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd
"It's not easy balancing the demands of work and CIMA, however the benefits are more than substantial. I find that as I progress, I draw on the knowledge I gain more and more in my current role."
Nick Shapland, CIMA student
Management Accountant
Challenge Business International Ltd.
"CIMA has enabled me to progress in finance, however, I am not constrained to finance and many of our buyers and store directors are CIMA qualified. Cross functional moves are quite common."
Jody Brabbins ACMA
Head of UK Reporting and Planning
Tesco
"I have no doubt that CIMA has been a significant help to my career. I have worked with many talented CPA's and MBA's â but I believe there is a gap inbetween these two skill sets not served by any professional organisation in the US. CPA's have to work to become business advisers, and MBA's always need to brush up on their accounting skills. CIMA members provide a unique balance of skills â good enough to prepare financial statements, and good enough to talk strategy with senior executives."
Owen Barwell ACMA
Senior Financial Adviser
NASA, USA
"I started studying CIMA with a non relevant qualification (BSc Geography), therefore my skills have grown and developed rapidly through the different levels of the qualification. I have enhanced my knowledge and developed both the practical and theoretical skills required to best contribute towards the business."
Julie Hanson ACMA
Finance Analyst
Rolls Royce
"At Microsoft, my role is as much about people as it is about profit. The CIMA qualification has given me a huge advantage because it emphasises business and people management, whilst providing a solid grounding in accounting and finance. These skills have enabled me to foster excellence and create an environment where great people can do their best work and realise their full potential."
Stephen Harvey ACMA
Director of People, Profits and Loyalty
Microsoft
"The CIMA qualification is well known and respected, and is one of the most popular overseas qualifications in Sri Lanka. As a Sri Lankan member I feel confident that I am being constantly updated on the latest developments in business. The largest benefit as an overseas member is the social and networking aspect. I actively support and advocate my staff to study CIMA."
Rajeev Aloysius FCMA
Finance Director
The Autodrome Ltd, Sri Lanka
