About Us
Shaping the Future of Professional Education in Burundi
Founded in 2026, Burundi Financial Institute was established with a clear mission: to bring internationally recognised professional education and training to Burundi.
Who We Are
We believe ambitious students and professionals should have access to world-class qualifications without needing to leave their country.
As the first institute in Burundi to offer ACCA tuition, we are proud to make one of the world’s most respected accounting qualifications — recognised in over 180 countries — accessible to aspiring finance professionals locally. Until now, many students had to travel abroad to pursue ACCA studies — Burundi Financial Institute changes that by providing quality face-to-face learning right here in Burundi, from our institute on Boulevard de Japon, Bujumbura.
What We Offer
Face-to-Face ACCA Coaching, Delivered Locally
Offline Classroom Coaching
At present, Burundi Financial Institute offers offline classroom coaching for the ACCA Knowledge Level papers, conducted in English by an experienced international faculty member with extensive industry expertise.
Theory Meets Practice
Our teaching goes beyond helping students pass examinations. By combining theoretical concepts with practical business applications, we equip learners with knowledge and skills that are relevant in the workplace.
Small Learning Cohorts
To ensure personalised attention and an engaging learning experience, we maintain small class sizes of around 10 students, enabling greater interaction between students and faculty.
Our Mission
Academic Excellence, Practical Impact
Our mission is to deliver professional training that combines academic excellence with practical industry knowledge, preparing students to succeed in today’s global business environment.
We are committed to developing highly skilled finance and business professionals who can contribute to the growth of Burundi’s economy while building successful international careers.
To be Burundi's leading provider of globally recognized professional education, empowering individuals to excel in international business and finance.
Our Academic Partnership
Guided by Global FTI (Bangalore)
Burundi Financial Institute is guided by Global FTI (Bangalore), an ACCA Platinum Approved Learning Partner. This partnership allows us to deliver high-quality learning aligned with international standards.
