London School of Accountancy & Finance

What London School of Accountancy & Finance does

London School of Accountancy & Finance (LSAF) is a private education institution headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia, founded in 2013 to deliver international professional accountancy qualifications and degree pathways to Indonesian students. The institution operates as an ACCA Gold Approved Learning Partner — the highest tier of recognition granted by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants — positioning it among a small set of preferred ACCA tuition providers in the country.

LSAF's product set centers on structured ACCA preparation across three tiers — Knowledge, Skills, and Professional — with per-paper and per-module pricing ranging from Rp. 8,650,000 to Rp. 20,400,000. It supplements these with a BSc pathway through Oxford Brookes University, an MSc pathway through the University of London, diploma programs, and short-form certificates in adjacent areas including FinTech and Data Analytics. Operations span three physical campuses: two in Jakarta (Mall of Indonesia and TSM) and one in Bali at Dwipa University, supported by a small team of 19 employees.

The business model is tuition-driven B2C education: revenue is generated through per-paper and per-module fees paid by individual students enrolling in formal qualifications and short courses. The institution is founder-led, with Manish Gidwani listed in senior leadership, and is structured through operating entities including PT. EDU PROFESI INDONESIA (the local operating entity) and LSAF Global Consulting (a Singapore-based subsidiary).

Direct peers

• Kaplan Professional (UK): One of the largest global ACCA Approved Learning Partners, offering online and blended ACCA preparation across multiple geographies. Comparable to LSAF's blended and online ACCA programs and a likely competitor in the Indonesian cross-border student market.
• BPP Professional Education: UK-headquartered ACCA-endorsed tuition provider and publisher of BPP study materials. Directly comparable to LSAF in ACCA curriculum delivery, and LSAF is BPP's exclusive Indonesian distributor, making them both a competitor and channel partner.
• First Intuition: UK-based ACCA, CIMA, and ICAEW tuition provider with a network of study centres. Comparable to LSAF in ACCA classroom and online tuition, with similar exam-pass-rate-driven marketing approach.
• OpenTuition: Online-first ACCA preparation platform providing free and paid study resources, lectures, and mock exams globally. Direct substitute for LSAF's online/blended ACCA programs, particularly price-sensitive students across Southeast Asia.
• ICS Learn: Global online learning provider offering ACCA, AAT, and other professional qualifications through distance learning. Comparable to LSAF's online/blended delivery and a competitor for Indonesian self-study students.

Broad incumbents

• Becker Professional Education: US-headquartered professional exam prep provider spanning CPA, CMA, CFA, and continuing professional education. Larger and broader portfolio than LSAF but addresses the same professional accountancy credentialing niche globally.

Regional players

• PPM Manajemen: Established Indonesian business and management training institution offering executive education, certification programs, and corporate training. Regional peer competing for the same Indonesian professional development wallet as LSAF.
• LSPR Communication & Business Institute: Jakarta-based private professional institute offering business, communications, and English-language programs to Indonesian students. Comparable as a domestic professional education competitor targeting similar mid-tier Indonesian student segments.

Others

• Oxford Brookes University: UK degree-granting university whose BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting is delivered to LSAF students. Not a competitor but a critical content partner whose brand contributes materially to LSAF's positioning.
• University of London: UK degree-granting institution offering the MSc in Professional Accountancy available to LSAF's ACCA students. Strategic academic partner rather than competitor, but a comparable degree brand in the broader international education landscape.
