Who has any financial government certifications??
I'm currently trying to get a bachelor’s in Finance. I work in government now as a low-level accounting tech (GS-5). I know to get your Certified Defense Financial Manager (CDFM) and Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) you have to have a bachelor's first. My question is, when is the best time to try to get one? After you receive your bachelor's? Should I take some graduate courses(MBA) first? When do people normally get theirs? I still have over two years before I even get my bachelor's, but I want to try to move up the ladder as soon as I get mine since I'm already 30 years old. I feel like I'm already behind. How much weight does these certifications hold vs. MBA/some graduate school experience. Thanks for any help.

- A bank manager. or A class 7 financial stock broker. Possibly a bond broker.
- if you are a gs 5 you probably have enough time in to qualify for a gs 6 position or the managemnt trainee program. look at these also. could jump you ahead in your federal career
