Shubham
My CMA journey began in [year] when I was looking for a globally recognized credential that would open doors to leadership roles in finance. The decision to pursue CMA was life-changing – it not only accelerated my career but also gave me the confidence to mentor thousands of aspiring finance professionals.
After completing my CMA certification, I worked with top multinational companies and saw firsthand how the CMA credential differentiated professionals in the job market. This inspired me to start SMA Institute – to help others achieve the same transformation I experienced.
“CMA didn't just give me a certification – it gave me a new identity as a strategic financial professional. It's the best investment I ever made in myself.”— Shubham
