Controller 2 Bundle by AICPA & CIMA — 17 CPE Credits
Master financial statement consolidation, digital transformation & strategic controllership
The Controller 2 Bundle is an intermediate-level, self-paced online course developed by AICPA & CIMA for finance professionals ready to move from routine reporting into strategic financial leadership.
This course builds deep expertise in consolidated financial statements, benchmarking, transfer pricing, and the digital transformation of the finance function — the exact skills that separate a controller from a senior accountant, and a future CFO from a controller.
💡 Recommended: Completing the Controller 1 Bundle before this course gives you the strongest foundation. However, if you already have solid experience in budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and cost management, you can enrol directly in Controller 2.

- Performance reports and reporting frameworks

Your Return on Investment: How This Course Pays for Itself Many Times Over
This isn’t a course expense. It’s a career multiplier.
The gap between a senior accountant and a financial controller is one of the largest salary jumps in finance — controllers earn 40% to 80% more than senior accountants globally. In some markets and industries, the jump is even higher — controllers at large corporations and MNCs can earn 2x to 3x what a senior accountant earns. The next step up to the CFO multiplies that again.
This course directly builds the four skills that create that gap: financial consolidation, performance benchmarking, transfer pricing strategy, and digital transformation — the exact competencies hiring managers test for when promoting or hiring at the controller level.
Even a single promotion or salary band adjustment driven by the skills in this course can deliver a 50x to 100x return on your course investment.
How Recruiters Find You — and Why This Course Makes You Visible
Here’s something most finance professionals don’t realize: recruiters don’t read every resume. They search for you.
LinkedIn Recruiter — the tool used by 90%+ of corporate and agency recruiters — works through filters and Boolean search strings. When a company needs a financial controller, the recruiter types something like this into LinkedIn Recruiter:
("Financial Controller" OR "Assistant Controller") AND ("consolidation" OR "IFRS" OR "financial analysis") AND ("AICPA" OR "CPA" OR "CGMA")
LinkedIn then returns profiles that match these keywords — pulling from your job titles, skills section, certifications, and digital badges.
If your profile doesn’t contain these terms, you’re invisible to the recruiter. You never even make it to the longlist.
The Controller 2 Bundle gives you searchable, verifiable keywords across all of these filters:
- ✅ Skills: Consolidation, financial statement analysis, benchmarking, transfer pricing, digital transformation
- ✅ Certifications: AICPA Controller 2 Bundle (listed in LinkedIn’s Licenses & Certifications section)
- ✅ Digital Badge: A verified AICPA credential via Credly that appears directly on your LinkedIn profile
The Digital Badge Advantage: Why 91% of Employers Look for It
According to the 2025 State of Credentialing Report, 91% of HR and recruiting leaders actively look for digital credentials when reviewing candidates — yet only 46% regularly find them in applications. That visibility gap is your opportunity.
Here’s what employers say a digital badge signals about a candidate:
- ✔️ They’ve done the work (66% of hiring managers)
- ✔️ They’ve passed an assessment or met a standard (64%)
- ✔️ They’ve demonstrated a real skill (60%)
- ✔️ They’re committed to professional growth (55%)
86% of employers say they would be more likely to interview someone who has a digital credential proving a key skill. And globally, 9 in 10 employers are willing to offer credential holders a higher starting salary.
Your AICPA Controller 2 digital badge is:
- Blockchain-verified — employers can confirm it’s real with one click
- Issued through Credly — the same platform used by AICPA for all credentials
- Displayed directly on LinkedIn — visible in your profile, your feed, and recruiter search results
In a world where AI can generate a resume in seconds, a verified AICPA badge is the difference between a recruiter trusting your profile and scrolling past it.
