A Proud Moment for Nepal and Seed Financial Academy
Seed Financial Academy student Sushant Bhatta has made history by securing World Rank 1 in the ACCA Financial Reporting (FR) paper for the June 2025 exam session. Sushant scored an astonishing 97% in the FR exam, the highest mark worldwide for that paper. This achievement means he outperformed thousands of ACCA candidates globally to clinch the top spot. In fact, over 111,000 students around the world sat for ACCA exams in the June 2025 session
The Financial Reporting exam itself had a global pass rate of just 50%, making Sushant’s near-perfect score of 97% even more exceptional. This is a proud moment not only for Sushant but also for Nepal, as it highlights the country’s growing presence in the field of global professional accounting qualifications.
Continuing a Legacy of Excellence at Seed Academy
Sushant’s success is the latest in a series of global accolades for Seed Financial Academy, which is renowned as the first Platinum Approved Learning Partner of ACCA in Nepal(Platinum is the highest level of ACCA accreditation, awarded only to institutions that demonstrate excellence in teaching quality, student support, and pass rates.)
The academy has a rich history of producing world-class results. In the past, Seed students have repeatedly ranked among the very best in the world. For example, back in December 2019, Saroj Dangal, a Seed student, achieved the highest worldwide score in the Audit and Assurance (AA) exam with 92%, becoming a world topper in that session.
More recently, Ima Ghising, another Seed standout, set a national record by achieving three world-topper positions in ACCA exams – she scored a world-high 99% in Taxation and topped Audit & Assurance in the December 2022 session, and then again ranked 1st globally in Financial Management in March 2023.
These outstanding feats underscore the academy’s consistency in nurturing top talent. With Sushant’s victory, Seed Financial Academy now boasts five global first-place rankings (world toppers) and an astounding 46 global top-ten placements achieved by its students to date. This track record of 5 world-top positions and 46 world top-10s speaks for itself – a testament to Seed’s unwavering commitment to academic excellence and student success. Such an unparalleled legacy of global achievement has firmly established Seed as a powerhouse in ACCA education in Nepal and beyond.
Guidance and Gratitude: Sushant’s Thank You Message
Despite his remarkable personal effort, Sushant remains humble about his achievement. He attributes a significant part of his success to the guidance and support he received from his mentors at Seed. In his own words:
“I am blessed and want to thank Seed Financial Academy and my tutor – Baburam Adhikari – and Student Support Mentor – Sahil Maharjan.”
Sushant’s heartfelt gratitude highlights the crucial role of his instructors and mentors in his journey. Mr. Baburam Adhikari, a Fellow ACCA and expert tutor for Financial Reporting (FR) at Seed, provided expert instruction that helped Sushant master the complex IFRS-based syllabus. Likewise, Mr. Sahil Maharjan, Seed’s dedicated student support mentor, offered invaluable guidance, encouragement, and academic support outside the classroom. Together, this team ensured that Sushant had both the technical knowledge and the moral support to excel. Sushant’s message of thanks reflects how a nurturing learning environment and committed faculty can make a profound difference in a student’s performance. It also echoes the ethos of Seed Academy – a place where students are coached, supported, and inspired to reach their highest potential.
