Hi,
1. For accounts, you need a professional certification and
that's really matter a lot. Like CMA, CGA, CPA etc. Job chances are very high for accounting professional.
2. For finance, it's better if you hold MBA (Finance) + CFA charter. If you hold CFA charter (Level 3) + 5 years of work experience, you can go home with CAD 1 lac/year.
CFA charter is known as a gold standard in the financial world. CFA professionals are very high in demand. Even for a graduate/post graduate diploma in finance, I would advise to at least clear CFA (Level 1).
