What is Certified Management Accounting?

Certified management accountant, also known as cost accounting, is the backbone of effective decision-making. It involves the process of identifying, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating financial information to business managers. Unlike financial accounting, which focuses on overall general company reporting, management accounting zooms in on understanding a company’s profitability and productivity.

Techniques We Employ:
