Yes, you can do US CPA after ACCA from State of Colorado under existing rules (assuming u mean US CPA by writing only CPA and not Philipine's CPA). Do not blame me if rules change by the time you become able to sit for CPA exams.

One thing i need to clarify you junior that for CPA u must have to GO USA and listen only USA CPA is preferred one as per my knowledge,
and yes the decision u gonna to made CAT after matriculation is excellent option(AGAR MUJHE KOI GUIDE KERNEY WALLAH HOTA TO I WILL DEFINATELY DO CAT RIGHTAFTER MATRIC EXAM,ICOMBCOMMBA KERKEY TIME WASTE NA KERTA)
Short route to be certified/qualified accountant is Matric -> CAT->ACCA --> join firm for 3/5 years+ CIA/CPA or whatever.instead of pathetic ICOM,BCOM i am sorry em not degrading bothicomrs bcomrs but its the fact i also topper of both icom,bcom but advising you to do so....
