Hello everyone, I am quite new to the financial field. I have had some experience working in a company that acts as a registrar and transfer agent (as well as some experience working in a bank). However, my education background is in Sciences and Finances. I am in the process of making a career change. I would like to attempt the CFA shortly. However, I'm aware that I will be needed some accounting knowledge and more finance knowledge in order to do that. I was told that I should take an Introductory Accounting Course as well as an Introductory Finance Course. Is that sufficient to start? Does anybody have any suggestions on that. I know the CFA will take a lot of studying. However, I'd like to have some necessary background fist. Maybe there is even someone was in the same boat as me (not coming from a Commerce, Economics, Accounting, or Finance background) that was successful and has some tips. Thanks everyone |

Hi, I am in the same background as Natasha and my educational background is science. Now I am a MBA (Finance) Student, successfully at the end of my second semester. I have a thought of writing CFA exam and would like to know about the materials which I can rely upon to start with initially. I thought of writing the CFA in December and am not sure what is the appropriate material I can trust. Some people are saying textbooks by CFA Institute to be good and some says other private party materials can be trusted. Someone interested to reply me, kindly post your response. |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
