I'd say the people who "crunch numbers" all day are either the un-designated accountants, or the CGAs (and some CMAs/CAs). As a CA, I don't think I ever sit and "crunch numbers" all day.
My work involves numbers, sure, but it is mostly managing people, deals, issues, etc.
With all the designations being CPA going forward it will create an interesting change to the industry, as many people who would normally have gone for a CGA/CMA are opting out of getting a designation alltogether. I'd say go for your CPA at a public accounting firm (big4) and then the world is your oyster once you're done.
