  Aren't they two different certs altogether?
  
  ACCA is for those who want to be accountants
  CFA is more for traders?

  Yeah.. I know these two are different certs..
  
  But which of these two is more appropiate for starting a career in finance in general? As in which of these two would be more useful for various appointments in finance? I am a newbie at this so don't flame me please

  But CFA sounds very specialized right? Whereas ACCA is more of a general thing?

  ACCA is mainly dealing with the money itself.....
  
  CFA can be higher level like financial planning, consulting.....
