I think it's great that you know you want a change and a little inspiration and advice on what you want. As I am sure you will, what kind of career transition is aware of a little strategic planning and resources. And no, I do not think you're too old to make this transition as it goes into the eyes wide open and well informed. You have at least 20 to 30 years in your career! :)
As a career coach, I always encourage my clients who have a career transition to an information interviews with people who are either working or wishing to enter into consideration. Often you can spend with people through LinkedIn, Facebook, Plaxo, etc. Even if you do not know the person to get in touch, many people are willing to 20 to 30 minutes on the phone or in a café, about themselves and speak of their careers.
If you've rejected a number of times after asking for informational interviews, to heart. There are people who want to help others. It is a bonus if you can find peoplethe accounting area, which entered the field later on (in his career like you). Use your network of friends and family and ask for help in finding a person (or persons) who may discuss the situation.
Arrival in forums like this is a good start! You can find some FSC, questions you can answer information, please contact for an interview.
If I answer any other questions about your career transition, please contact me!

Well ... If you are a beginner, start the CFA in May later as a financial advisor (from experience) and 2 years, when you are finished, the CFA a better job. But I can not see finance as an easy race now started getting into.
