This video breaks down the most common career confusion in finance: CFA vs Financial Modelling — and which one you should choose based on your background, career stage, and goals.

The CFA program is a knowledge-based qualification designed to build deep understanding of core finance areas such as equity research, portfolio management, valuation, ethics, and financial analysis. It is ideal for candidates aiming for long-term roles in investment management, research, and institutional finance.

Financial Modelling, on the other hand, is a skill-based course that focuses on practical application — building models, valuation frameworks, and real-world analysis. It is often preferred by candidates with a finance background or professionals transitioning from non-finance careers.

In this video, we discuss:

CFA vs Financial Modelling: knowledge vs skills

Who should choose CFA and who should choose financial modelling

Whether undergraduates should do CFA Level 1 and financial modelling together

Why full-time CFA candidates should also learn financial modelling

How CFA adds credibility and recognition for recruiters

The risk of low-quality financial modelling courses and how to choose the right mentor

Why combining CFA knowledge with financial modelling skills leads to better job opportunities

Using a simple medical analogy, the video explains why knowledge without skills and skills without knowledge are both incomplete. A successful finance career requires both theory and execution.
