CPA or CMA for FP&A?
Should i pursue the CPA or CMA for FP&A? Seems like the CMA is more applicable but CPA is more preferred.
If CPA, should i attend an online MBA to get my accounting credit hours to sit for the CPA?

Hope that helps.
I work in FP&A (the team I'm on specifically is at an F50 and we do long range planning stuff in HQ) and not a single person I work with has CPA or CMA. Majority of the CPAs are on controllership side of things. Also, I think unless you're doing a top tier MBA, it's not worth it, and even then, depending on where you are in your career, an MBA is probably still not worth it unless you're wanting to change fields.
YMMV, good luck!
