CPA is more expensive, but a CPA professional receives more salary than CA in comparison to CA, if we talk about global averages. CPA takes seven months to 1 year to complete, and CA takes 4-5 years. CPA has four exams that are not bifurcated into any sort of levels or parts, whereas CA has three different levels of exams. CPA does not require any articleship, but CA requires three years of articleship. So I find CPA better than CA as CPA is widely and globally recognized and offers more lucrative job opportunities, in a lower time frame.

According to my personal experience, CA and CPA are both accounting profession courses, and both get a high package after completing the course. But a CPA gets a higher package as compared to CA in India. Because I had a CPA degree, I greatly benefited from this globally recognised degree. The knowledge of International Accounting standards helped me get a great preference from some top MNCs, including the Big4s. A CPA qualified can get an average package of 9-10 lakhs per annum and a CA qualified can get 7-8 lakhs per annum.

On the other hand, CPA is a globally recognized course and enjoys USA’s credibility. It increases your bandwidth and allows you to find a highly paid job in India and abroad. Furthermore, it takes only one year to complete with only one exam level consisting of just four papers. So in terms of effort, pay, and global reliability, CPA is far better than CA.
