Understanding financial management, audit procedures, accounting standards, and taxation is an important part for ACCA students to get success in future professional careers. Besides that, having practical skills and knowledge to apply them in real organizations and meet professional expectations is also equally important.
And to help students to gain practical knowledge, Seed Financial Academy has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with reputed professional organizations:
- R.S.M.A Associates, Chartered Accountants
- B.K. Agrawal & Co. (BKAG)
- AGK Nepal Pvt. Ltd
The aim of this collaboration is to provide an opportunity for ACCA students to get practically exposed to real-world industry practice.
Bringing Three Areas of Professional Practice Closer to Students
Seed Financial Academy collaborates with three professional institutes to provide different dimensions of accounting and finance careers closer to students.
1. R.S.M.A Associates
R.S.M.A Associates, Chartered Accountants, provides professional services to diverse clients and brings strong exposure to audit, assurance, and related professional practices. This collaboration creates opportunities for students to build the Practical Experience Requirement (PER), technical sessions, guest lectures, masterclasses, workshops, and professional mentorship.
As part of the collaboration, Seed Financial Academy hosted Mr. Suyogya Bhandari, Partner at R.S.M.A Associates, for a session titled “Beyond the Audit File: How Audit & Assurance Opens Doors to Diverse Careers.” The session demonstrated how audit experience can develop analytical thinking, professional judgment, risk assessment, communication, and business understanding skills that can lead professionals into advisory, risk, technology, finance, and leadership roles.
3. B.K. Agrawal & Co.
Similarly, the collaboration with B.K. Agrawal & Co. (BKAG) brings another dimension in enhancing the practical experience of students. Established in 1984, the firm has built a significant presence across accounting and consulting, with expertise spanning assurance, risk advisory, foreign investment, taxation, special-purpose investigations, financial analysis, mergers and acquisitions, and related advisory services.
For students, exposure to a broad professional environment can help them understand that accounting and finance are not confined to traditional roles but also extend into investment decisions, business strategy, risk, transactions, and advisory.
3. AGK Nepal Pvt. Ltd.
Meanwhile, AGK Nepal Pvt. Ltd. brings an important international dimension. As part of the wider AGK Partners network with strong roots in the United Kingdom, the firm provides services across accounting, bookkeeping, taxation, payroll, financial reporting, forecasting, and business advisory. Its model of combining local expertise with international professional practice offers students valuable insight into how finance professionals operate in a globally connected environment.
What does this mean for our students?
This collaboration means creating access to learning opportunities such as the following:
- Practical Experience Requirement (PER) pathways
- Industry-led guest lectures and technical sessions
- Professional mentorship
- Case-based and practical learning
- Exposure to latest industry practices
- Faculty capacity-building initiatives
- Career and industry engagement opportunities
- Interaction with experienced professionals
These opportunities create students’ opportunities to support their academic journey and professional career in the future by allowing them to connect concepts learned during ACCA studies with situations encountered in professional practice.
Seed Financial’s approach has always been focused on preparing students for the world beyond examinations, with a focus on professional careers, employability, and practical understanding.
More than MoUs
For Seed Financial Academy, these agreements are not just institutional announcements but they represent a commitment to creating an ecosystem where students can learn from the people already working in the profession, understand different career pathways and develop the confidence or competence required to enter the industry.
The real measure of these partnerships will not be the signing ceremonies but the opportunities, experiences, and professional growth they create for our students during the ACCA journey or in the future.
We sincerely thank R.S.M.A. Associates, B.K. Agrawal & Co., and AGK Nepal for placing their trust in SEED and joining us in this shared commitment. Also, we look forward to creating more meaningful opportunities and nurturing finance professionals who are ready not only to enter the industry but also to contribute to it.
