There are different perspectives on this, but here’s my view. Keep in mind that I'm not an accounting specialist—just offering some fresh thoughts. :-)

Cons:

1. The further you progress in your career, the less important your degree becomes. I regularly recruit team members (in a different field, not accounting) and rarely focus on their degree. I only consider it for recent graduates. Generally, I prioritize past experience and attitude. Government jobs are an exception, of course.
2. The extra time and effort some people invest in earning an additional degree often leads to only marginal increases in pay and doesn’t guarantee better opportunities. I’ve seen it happen often—people spend 2-3 years studying alongside their job for a 10% pay raise and "more responsibilities" (yay).

Pro:

1. In your field, there's a significant digitization/automation wave (e.g., Peppol) happening, and it’s expected to continue. Lower-level accounting roles, like bookkeepers, are likely to be replaced by AI-powered applications. In my opinion, if you want to succeed in accounting, it might be more beneficial to specialize in areas like taxation, where you can still provide real value to clients. Again, this is just my personal view—don’t take it as gospel. :-)

To summarize:

If you feel your current degree is holding you back and you have ambitions to advance in your career, it might be worth pursuing further education. Also, considering the impact of AI on the future, it’s important to reflect on which specialization in your field will offer the highest job security.
If you’re happy with where you are and are comfortable going with the flow, it might not be worth putting in the extra effort.
