CPA/CFA as an ERP Tech Consultant

Hi guys, sorry if you have across the same post in career advice and/or banking & finance communities. I have posted in these to get better advice and make an informed decision.

I’m currently working as an ERP Tech Consultant for about 4 years in the financials domain; currently at EY.

I come from an engineering background. Although I have 0 knowledge about accounting/finance, I have gained some decent knowledge about the basic processes like O2C, P2P, R2R etc.

I'm confident in what I currently do on the technology side.

Lately I have become interested in accounting. I have started learning basic accounting through Coursera.

Would pursuing something like CPA/CFA be beneficial to my career? Possible career options? Finance Transformation and similar roles? Exit options?

Basically I want to make big money : ( and ready to sell my body and soul to corporate for it.

Unfortunately due to home loan EMIs, I can’t pursue a full time MBA. Online MBA seems to be useless(and frowned upon), based on my research and feedback.

So my only other option is pursuing something like CPA/CFA/CMA or something similar. Ignoring the toughness of these exams, will I be making the right decision in my career if I choose to get certified?

I want to be the middleman between finance and technology. Designing and improving the financial processes, automating stuff, etc.

I need some career counselling, wouldn’t mind paying for it.

Thank you!
