I would suggest the Master in Finance option, given your background in Maths. CFA can be tough even to those with a Finance degree. So it's better to complete the Masters degree first and then add-on CFA if required.

What is your dream profession? If it's fund manager, broker, banker, or anyone dealing with financial markets, get CFA (and CAIA is also good if you want to do hedge funds and alternatives). If you want to be a CFO of a company or auditor or consultant, or if you don't have a very clear idea yet, get the Master's (first). CFA is much more narrowly focused and - let's be honest - quite useless outside Wall Street / London City in your case. Master's in Finance is usually more general. Another aspect is that if you live in a country with expensive university education (like the UK, I don't know about Ireland), CFA may be a cheaper substitute for a Master's. If you're very serious about a career in finance, get both. Btw, you are lucky that you have B. Sc. in Maths. Banks and hedge funds love maths educated people (though this may change of course). ... What about getting a Master's/Ph.D. in Maths + CFA?
