Confused Between CFO Route and Finance Route

I am at a point in my career where I seriously dont know which route to take,I am sure that both the CFO and Fin Analyst can benefit from more accounting &Finance knowledge. However I guess the starting point for both jobs are a little different for the CFO route an Big 4 starting job as auditor will be a nice start where as for the typical finance guy it may not be the best choice.Since I dont know what info is relavant and what isnt I will leave it out and pass it during questions
