Role of CMAs
Experts in strategic and financial management, certified management accountants (CMA) organize information necessary for decision-making, design systems and implement effective action plans. They apply advanced management and accounting practices in all business functions, including strategic planning, sales and marketing, information technology, human resources, finance, and operations.
CMAs are trained to see the “big picture” as well as spot emerging trends. They deliver innovative strategies in every area that affects the value of products and services: quality, performance, cost, and customer responsiveness. Here are some of the tasks they may be entrusted with:
- initiating and guiding major changes
- directing and mobilizing teams
- planning and managing projects with substantial budgets
- planning and coordinating system implementation
- optimizing business processes.
Their integrated and systemic approach to strategic and financial management makes CMAs value-added accountants who optimize the performance of organizations.
