I'm hoping to find out (or, should I say I will find out) by next January. I'm taking two parts in October and two in January. My employer has been pushing me to get the certification although they won't tell me what they are going to do once I pass it. I realize my long term potential with this company is good, I get along really well with my boss who is the CFO, but they're really non-committal about any bonuses, raises, etc. I am basically a senior financial analyst. I don't do debits and credits any more, although I have 6 years experience in public accounting doing tax work and some audit. I do strictly finance and very little reporting (stuck with some specialized investor reporting because I designed it and our worthless IT department can't automate it). I know I have worth to the company in my current role, which is developing financing techniques for the bonds we issue. The company is huge revenue wise and throws money at other people who are not CPAs. I'm currently making around $65k before the few bonuses I get each year.
Basically, how much of a bump in salary or bonus should/would this be worth? I know it's a tough question, but I think the hours I work and the workload I take off of the CFO is huge, and he has told me as much. Salary.com estimates that I should be making low 70's in my current role, no CPA required.
