My aim is to do CFA, but for that you only need to obtain a degree in any field whether in BA or BSc. If i do accounting i will have the scope in competing for Chartered Accountant designation too. But in real corporate world, who climbs the ladder fastly? A Chartered Accountant or an expert in Finance field i.e; an MBA grad or a CFA charterholder ?

More CEOs are from Finance than any other field - after that Operations, then Sales and then marketing. Accounting is more about following rules, which is why accounting profit differs from finance profit (for example) - in other words to balance the books an accountant makes entries that are on paper only.

All things being equal, if you interest is to climb the corporate rankings, then get a finance degree.
