Quick Summary
A CA Final student working as an FP&A Analyst is seeking advice on additional courses to complement their studies and career. Suggestions include exploring electives like Financial Services and Capital Markets, or pursuing certifications in Data Science, AI from IIT Madras, or various international accounting qualifications. Other options mentioned are ERP systems, data analytics tools, business intelligence, and RPA. The discussion also differentiates between business analytics and data analytics, advising to consider personal interests and career goals when choosing.

Yes, I worked as an FP&A analyst
Elective Paper has strength to learn new courses like financial services and capital markets which will be having lot of demand in the upcoming days
What about data science and AI certificate from IIT Madras

n today's globalised era, you need not to have CA degree to succeed in career. Here are the options : 
1. Get an international degree in accounting / auditing e.g.  ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, CPA (USA / AUS / NZ), CMA (USA), CIA, CISA, CFE etc. (all these courses are much easier than CA curriculum and several online / offline coaching classes are available in India).  
2. Go for a course in ERP - SAP, Oracle EBS, Microsoft Business Central (MS Dynamics).  
3. Go for a course on Data Analytics tools (ACL, IDEA), Data Visualisation / Business Intelligence Tools (R, Power BI, Tableau, Quilkview etc.).  
4. Go for a course on a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tool (e.g. UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism etc.).  
5. Go for a course on a GRC suite (e.g. RSA Archer, ServiceNow, SAP GRC etc. ) 

After gaining these degrees / certifications / skill sets, you will easily get an opportunity in an IT company, Big4, MNC, KPO, Global Delivery Centre / Shared Services Centre of an MNC / Big4. 

If you have CA qualification then the companies train their ERP . So need not panic
