Like the above answers, I strongly encourage getting your CPA designation. Many employers will pay for the annual enrollment, courses and exams which make it easily attainable.
There are many positions that require having a CPA, and by not having one, you may be limited to the promotions and jobs you are qualified for. While it is definitely a challenging program, the benefits of having more career prospects and not be limited to how far you can progress at many companies do outweigh the costs in my opinion.
