Never too late in my opinion. If your firm will pay for the exam and books, I think it's a no-brainer to go for it. As for job titles, I'm not sure why you'd need a CFA to be a trader, but at some places it's indispensable in order to become an analyst. It sounds to me, though, that your first priority should probably be to figure out what you want to do other than "not a portfolio accountant."

Thanks for the advice Buffett. Well, maybe not a trader. But let's say, analyst. Having just the CFA exam and CPA exam under my belt, do you think it would be difficult to get a job as an analyst without any relevant experience?

Unforunately, my firm will not pay for the CFA education since I am a mere "portfolio accountant".
