What Visoka šola za računovodstvo in finance does

Visoka šola za računovodstvo in finance (VŠR) is a private higher education institution headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with a secondary campus in Maribor. Founded in 2007, the school specializes in accounting and finance education, serving a niche of working professionals, recent high-school graduates, public-sector accountants, and practitioners seeking forensic specialization. The core portfolio comprises three undergraduate tracks (Accounting, Finance, and Public Sector Accounting), a master's program in Forensic Investigations in Finance and Accounting (noted as unique within Slovenia), and four professional certifications (Certified Business Accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Payroll Specialist, and Certified Financial Accountant). Continuing-education delivery is consolidated under the "Znanje na KLIK!" umbrella.

The technology stack is conventional e-learning infrastructure rather than a software product: an LMS branded E-učilnica (virtual classroom), a digital student index (E-indeks), the Mala šola SRS webinar platform, and a digital tool (S.O.S. IB) built as a deliverable of the Erasmus+ Simulation of Sustainable International Business project. Partnerships span ACFE Slovenija, IIA Slovenija, GZS Chamber of Accounting Services, the Association of Employers of Slovenia, the Styrian Chamber of Commerce, and four European universities (RRiF Zagreb, University of Bialystok, Varna University of Management, IDOP). Subsidiary Inštitut za poslovodno računovodstvo publishes the "Poslovodno računovodstvo" journal.

VŠR monetizes through tuition fees on degree and certification programs (annual subscription billing for degrees; one-time/multi-year for certifications) plus seminars and professional-development services under Znanje na KLIK!. Tuition is not publicly disclosed; prospective students must contact the institution. Go-to-market is sales-led via informative days at both campuses, online info sessions, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), website content, career fairs, and partnerships with professional accounting bodies. The school is independently owned and operated with no parent company, no external funding rounds, and a reported headcount of approximately 13 employees.
