Professional Certification Combined with an MBA will really strengthen your professional profile, putting you on a senior management track.

There is no requirement as to which should come first a professional certification such as the CPA or an MBA.

The order depends on how your professional interest and career evolves.

However, it is more logical to have your professional certifications first and then, when you aim at senior general management positions in the industry, to take the step to add an MBA.

If you'd like to get both an MBA and a CPA, start with an undergraduate degree in finance, economics or accounting, and go to work for a public accounting firm.

In three years, you can apply to a local MBA program and sit for the CPA exam.

Accountants with both a CPA and an MBA tend to earn more than accountants with just one of those. The average salary for an accountant with a CPA and an MBA is $87,525 (across all levels of experience). The average salary for a CPA or MBA only is $84,051 and $77,754 respectively.
