CPA license > advanced degree. Therefore, if you pass the exam, you will lead with that on your resume, rather than with your advanced degree. I know alot of guys who weren't accounting majors but got the hrs/requirements to sit and passed the CPA. They are now managers for CPA firms, controllers, CFO's etc. lack of an advanced degree didn't hurt.
Perhaps 10 or 20 years from now that might change since almost everyone is getting a masters, but that increase in supply of advanced degreed+licensed workforce will be offset by the fact that there are so many retirees in the field, IMO. Not saying to not get the MS, just saying it isn't as important as the CPA exam.

How is that not completely inferior to a MS in ACCT?
Then go get an MBA/CPA.
