Concentrate on CA.

Don't do MBA Finance as you already cover the learning of it during your CA.

CA in 3rd Or 4th attempt is treated equivalent to an MBA finance guy. 

CFA is a good option.

Your CA and CFA will take you places. Don't go for MBA that too of 1 year.

Best wishes,

Himanshu

Hello Jessica,

You are aiming for many things together.

 

I would suggest, utilizing or gaining experience with a degree is important, than just rushing to earn a degree. Earning or pursuing a degree is only fruitful, if you have proper experience and you know the market right.

 

Hence I would suggest, after you complete CA, get into the job market, into the financial sector as an investment banker or financial advisor etc, choice is yours. Once you gain an experience you could opt for a CFA course. Though eligibility for CFA is Graduation, please note, only candidates with a proper exposure are able to clear the level 3 or the final level of CFA.

 

And then for a better position you could opt for an Executive MBA, which is a 1 year course, but requires a minimum of 5 years experience ( IIM institutes). 

Incase you wish to pursue an MBA in Finance, please note,  it is a 2 years full-time program and a 3 years correspondence or part-time program.

 

Hope I am able to put my point across.

 

 

Wish you good luck...
