Nepal's accounting and finance sector is changing fast. More businesses are moving away from paper-ledgers and manual bookkeeping and switching to cloud-based accounting software. One name leading this shift in Nepal is Tigg, the country's popular cloud-based and Inland Revenue Department (IRD)-verified accounting software. And now, FinT is proud to be part of that story as Nepal's first and only Tigg Certified Academy, a status you can verify directly on Tigg's own Tigg Certified Experts page, where FinT Learning Hub is listed as the certified academy.

If you're wondering what this partnership actually means for students, for the accounting profession, and for the future of finance training in Nepal, here's a simple, clear breakdown.

Who Is FinT?

FinT Learning Hub is an ACCA college, offering ACCA classes both online and in the classroom. Alongside ACCA exam preparation, FinT also focuses on practical, hands-on training experiences, including software skills like Tigg, to help students become job-ready, not just exam-ready. The idea is simple: passing exams is important, but it's not the whole picture. Real workplaces expect employees who can actually use the tools of the trade from day one. That's the gap FinT set out to close, and it's a big part of why becoming a Tigg Certified Academy made sense for the institute.

Tigg: Nepal's Cloud Accounting Platform

Tigg is a cloud-based accounting software built specifically for Nepali businesses. Unlike older, desktop-only accounting tools, Tigg runs in the cloud, meaning business owners, accountants, and finance teams can access their books from anywhere, at any time, on any device. It is designed to handle real Nepali business needs from VAT and tax compliance to day-to-day bookkeeping in a way that is fast, simple, and modern.

As more businesses across Nepal adopt cloud accounting, the demand for professionals who actually know how to use these tools properly has grown just as quickly. That's where certification comes in.

The Meaning Behind "Tigg Certified Academy"

Not every institute or college can call itself a Tigg Certified Academy. Tigg only gives this status to institutions it has officially recognized as qualified to teach its software to a professional standard. This means Tigg has directly reviewed and approved the academy's trainers, curriculum, and teaching methods.

FinT is currently the only institute in Nepal to hold this recognition. In practical terms, that means students who want to learn Tigg the right way with proper guidance, real practice, and genuine certification have one clear place to go.

Meet the Tigg Certified Trainer

Behind every Tigg Certified Academy is a Tigg Certified Trainer. This is someone who has gone through Tigg's own certification process and has been personally approved to teach the software at a professional level. This role is very different from someone who has simply used the app a few times. A certified trainer understands Tigg in depth, everything from setting up an account and recording daily transactions to reporting, compliance, and resolving common problems. On top of that, the trainer has also learned how to explain all of this clearly to students, step by step.

At FinT, this training is led personally by Rejika Maharjan, FCCA, our Tigg Certified Trainer, listed as TCT002 on Tigg's own Tigg Certified Experts page. Every student at FinT learns from someone who has been directly certified by Tigg itself, not just someone who has picked up the software informally.

Becoming a Tigg Certified Professional

Once students complete the training, they don't just walk away with notes and practice files; they earn an official Tigg Certified Professional credential. This certificate is proof, recognized by Tigg itself, that the person has been properly trained on the platform and can use it confidently and correctly in a real workplace.

For students, this matters a lot. A Tigg certificate is not just a class completion badge; it's a recognized qualification that employers can trust, especially as more Nepali businesses adopt Tigg for their day-to-day accounting.

Why This Partnership Matters

For Students

Learning accounting software properly, from certified trainers, means students graduate job-ready rather than needing months of on-the-job training to catch up. It also gives them a real, recognized credential to put on their CV, something that stands out in a competitive job market where many candidates have similar theoretical qualifications but far fewer practical ones.

For Employers

Businesses hiring accounting staff want confidence that new hires can actually operate their systems from day one. Hiring someone with a Tigg Certified Professional credential, that confidence is already there. It removes the guesswork and gives employers a clear, verified signal of real, practical skill.

For the Profession

As Nepal's accounting industry modernizes, training needs to modernize with it. This partnership is part of a bigger shift moving accounting education beyond theory (like ACCA papers) and into practical, software-specific skills that match what real workplaces actually use.

Part of a Bigger Skills-Focused Approach

This Tigg partnership does not stand alone. It's part of FinT's focus on making training more practical, not just exam-focused. Alongside Tigg, students at FinT also get hands-on sessions in other widely used accounting tools like Xero and Tally, along with audit simulation exercises and workplace communication training. This entire practical track lives under FinT's Skills Lab worth a look if you want the full picture of what's on offer beyond Tigg. The goal is simple: make sure students leave with more than just exam results. They leave with skills employers are actually looking for. 

The Bottom Line

Being Nepal's first and only Tigg Certified Academy means FinT's Tigg training is officially reviewed and approved by Tigg itself, with properly certified trainers, a verified curriculum, and a real credential for students at the end of it. As cloud accounting keeps growing across Nepal, that kind of trusted, practical training only becomes more valuable.
