The CPA is harder than the CMA. The CMA exam has a 2 part process and the CPA exam has a 4 part process. A CPA is a license, issued by a state, via statutory law, whereas the CMA is a certificate from a private association (IMA).

Is a EA better than a CPA?

It's not that one certification is better than the other. Enrolled Agents are strictly focused on taxes which gives them an advantage in that area, while the CPA covers a broader area. It really comes down to the individual's ability. Just based off of the certification, I would go with an EA for taxes, a CPA for financial reporting, a CMA for internal decision making, a CIA for auditing, and a CFE for investigating employee fraud.

What does a CMA accountant do?

CMA (Certified Management Accountant) is a designation that focuses on managerial accounting, or internal decision making within a business. CMA's focus on cost accounting, budgeting, managing current assets, investing, capital budgeting, and analysis, to name a few things. They differ from CPA's in that 1) a CPA is certified through individual States while a CMA is certified through a non-profit organization (the IMA), and 2) they focus on internal decision making and reporting as opposed to external financial and tax reporting. There is some overlap between the two certifications in the area of auditing and analysis. The CMA exam is two parts; both parts having a 3 hour 100 question multiple choice section, and a 1 hour essay section. To become a CMA, a candidate must become a member of the IMA, pass both sections, have a Bachelor's degree, and work for two consecutive years in a related field.
