Hello,
I'm considering applying to an accounting PhD program within the next couple of years. Here's a little bit about me:
- 3.62 cumulative/3.8 accounting undergrad GPA from Iowa State University
- No GMAT yet (aiming for 700+)
- No research experience
- Three years of corporate accounting experience and a licensed CPA
- Most advanced math that I took was business calculus
Obviously, not having a master's degree puts me at a disadvantage. I don't want a Macc degree because most of these programs are geared towards those who don't have 150 credits and are preparing for the CPA exam. I already have my CPA, so I don't see the value. Additionally, I don't see an MBA adding much value when my long-term goal is to pursue a research degree. I'm looking at applying to an MA in economics program at Mizzou where I'll take courses in applied statistics, econometrics, and mirco/macro theory. I feel like this is the best option to prepare myself for a PhD program. I also plan to take calculus I to III at a local community college.
Provided I can get a ~700 GMAT, would an MA in economics and taking advanced math courses improve my profile?

Hello!
You are absolutely thinking in the right direction. MA in economics is the right option for you.
If you want to go for the top programs then go for a master's degree, which will have lots of Probability theory, statistics theory, linear algebra, econometrics, research-based courses, accounting/finance/ economics seminars, improve your programming skills, work on SAS/STATA/LATEX/PYTHON etc.
If you can take your GMAT to 730+ with a MA economics or a Pre-PhD program such as (click here), then you are well on your way to the top programs. You may also explore other such opportunities..
Feel free to seek further clarification.
All the best!

Oh! Now I remember that we have already spoken before (here). Nice to know that you have dropped the plan to do an MBA and instead selected MA economics with the right coursework.
