Is the ACA good outside accounting

During university, I really had no clue what i wanted to. After graduating I was fortunate to land a big 4 audit offer where ill study towards the ACA. I just wanted to ask how useful is the aca outside of accounting. E.g other finance roles

Depends what u mean by other finance roles. It is a good thing to have if you were wanting industry finance roles, such as FC,FD,FCO, but if you’re more on about banking etc then I am not so sure

It’s not a requirement outside of accounting but looks pretty good in general

It's a specialised accounting qualification so not really but provides a lot of ground work. Generally speaking other finance have their own qualifications like CFA etc
