Our Story of Excellence

From humble beginnings to Sri Lanka's premier accounting education institution, our journey has been defined by unwavering dedication to student success and industry excellence.

The Foundation Years (2013-2016)

AccountPro Institute was founded in January 2013 with a clear vision: to bridge the growing skills gap in Sri Lanka's accounting sector. Starting with just 15 students in a modest classroom in Colombo, our founders recognized the critical need for practical, industry-relevant accounting education that went beyond traditional academic approaches.

Our early years were marked by close collaboration with local accounting firms and businesses, ensuring our curriculum remained aligned with real-world demands. This practical approach quickly earned us recognition, and by 2016, we had graduated over 200 students with an impressive 92% job placement rate.
