Who we are

A practitioner-run academy, online from day one

Global Fin X Academy is a fully online finance coaching academy, registered in Hyderabad, Telangana. It prepares students and working professionals for internationally recognised accounting and finance qualifications. The founder, P. Sai Manikanta, holds ACCA (UK), CMA US, Dip IFRS, CSCA US, CIMA (UK), M.Com, MBA and MA, and pairs that with a day job in corporate finance and operations.

Since 2019 the academy has grown from a small coaching practice into an online academy for ACCA, CMA US and Dip IFRS, with more than 5,000 students trained across 85+ batches. Students rate the mentoring 9.5 out of 10 (based on student feedback collected across batches over 12+ years), and the academy holds a 4.9-star rating on its Google Business Profile.

Every session is taught by people who have worked in corporate finance, audit and management accounting. Students learn how international standards are applied at work, not just how to pass the exam.

All classes are online, so candidates anywhere in India or abroad can study with us. Courses follow the current ACCA, IMA and ACCA Dip IFRS syllabi, and include AI-ready updates for the way finance work is changing.
