From Foundation to the C-Suite.
Your Accountancy Journey Starts Here.
CBBS develops the next generation of Botswana's finance leaders - from GCSE level through ACCA Foundations, all the way to Integrative Thinking CFOs equipped for complex, multi-dimensional organisations.
Botswana needs more citizen professional accountants. CBBS exists to build that pipeline - developing young students from first principles through to strategic finance leadership, in line with ACCA and AAT professional standards.
ACCA-aligned curriculum
Tuition built around official ACCA FIA syllabi - no shortcuts, no guesswork.
Long-term development
We don't just prepare students for exams - we build finance professionals for life.
Practitioner-led tutoring
Taught by active accountants with real-world experience, not just theory.
Integrative thinking focus
We develop CFO-ready minds capable of multi-dimensional business problem solving.
Botswana-rooted, globally recognised
BICA registered firm with ACCA credentials that open international doors.
Cloud-enabled learning
Remote-first, flexible delivery combining in-person sessions with online resources.
At CBBS, we believe an accountant is not just a number processor - they are a strategic architect. We teach students to ask why, not just how, so that by the time they reach senior finance roles, they can hold the full picture of an organisation in their minds and drive it forward.

Meet your tutors
AAT Diploma holder, BICA registered member, ACCA candidate and Xero Certified Advisor. Over 10 years of professional accounting firm experience. Leads all technical tuition and exam preparation.
BSc (Honours) in Accounting and Diploma in Human Resources. Xero Certified Advisor with deep experience in professional development, student support and learning design.
ACCA's Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) is the internationally recognised entry point to a career in professional accounting. CBBS tutors all FIA papers, giving students the technical grounding and exam confidence to progress to the full ACCA Qualification.
FIA is designed for those beginning their accountancy journey. It covers financial management fundamentals, business accounting and reporting - building the vocabulary every finance professional needs.
There are no entry requirements. Students can complete the FIA group of exams in 12-18 months and gain a globally recognised qualification in the process.
FIA qualifications CBBS tutors
We begin every topic with the "why" behind the numbers - not just how to record a transaction, but what it means for the business.
Structured practice aligned to ACCA FIA past papers and question bank. Students learn to read and answer questions with precision.
Our practitioners bring live examples from accounting firm experience, so abstract concepts become tangible and memorable.
We instil ACCA's ethical framework and the habits of professional accountants from day one - because character matters as much as competence.
Note: ACCA Qualification is changing from 2027
ACCA is redesigning its qualification for a redefined profession. CBBS stays current with all syllabus changes, ensuring our students are always prepared for the qualification as it evolves. Speak to us about how the 2027 changes affect your study plan.
GCSE Accounting is where the journey begins. CBBS provides structured, engaging tuition for students taking accounting at GCSE level - building the numeracy, financial literacy and analytical confidence that makes everything else possible.
Why GCSE Accounting with CBBS?
Many students first encounter accounting at GCSE and find it abstract or intimidating. Our tutors present it as storytelling - every set of accounts tells the story of a business. Students who understand the story pass exams and remember the subject for life.
What CBBS covers at GCSE level
Double-entry bookkeeping, financial statements, trial balances, balance sheet interpretation, ratio analysis, and accounting concepts. All delivered in plain language with plenty of worked examples and student practice.
CBBS deliberately structures GCSE tuition to build the foundations that FIA and beyond require. Students who study GCSE Accounting with us arrive at FIA Level 2 with a significant head start.
Financial literacy, double entry, financial statements - the universal language of business begins here.
Management and financial accounting at diploma level. Internationally recognised. Exam-ready in 12-18 months.
Accounting and business at near-degree level. Eligible to progress directly to ACCA Applied Knowledge exams.
The globally recognised professional designation. Opens doors to BICA membership, international firms and senior finance roles.
Key GCSE subjects covered
CBBS is not a one-exam tutor. We are your long-term development partner - from the moment your child picks up an accounting textbook, through to the day they present a boardroom financial strategy. This is what Integrative Thinking CFO development looks like.
The CFO of tomorrow is not just a financial reporter. They are a systems thinker who sees how strategy, operations, capital and people interconnect. CBBS builds that lens from the very beginning of a student's journey.
- CBBS Institute Philosophy
The language of business. Concepts, numeracy, double entry. "How does money move through an organisation?"
ACCA recognised qualifications. Financial management, management accounting, business accounting. BICA Accounting Technician eligible.
Full ACCA. Strategic business leadership, advanced financial management, audit and assurance. BICA Professional Accountant eligible.
Where CBBS's philosophy reaches its destination. Finance leaders who can synthesise multi-dimensional problems - regulatory, strategic, operational and human - into clear decisions for complex organisations.
What is Integrative Thinking?
Integrative Thinking is the discipline of holding two or more competing models in mind simultaneously and constructing a new, superior solution. It is the mindset of the modern CFO who must balance profitability with sustainability, short-term results with long-term value, and financial discipline with commercial boldness.
Why start at GCSE level?
Because habits of mind form early. Students who learn to question assumptions, understand trade-offs, and interpret financial information at age 16 carry those capabilities forward. CBBS deliberately teaches accounting as a thinking discipline, not just a technical skill, from the very first lesson.
Botswana's accountancy profession is growing - but the pipeline of citizen professional accountants remains a strategic priority. These BICA statistics from April 2026 show both the scale of the opportunity and the need for quality tuition providers like CBBS.
BICA membership overview (April 2026)
Professional accountant breakdown
New admissions by category (Feb-Mar 2026)
CPD compliance rates (2025)
What these numbers mean for CBBS students
With only 948 citizen Professional Accountants in Botswana and a national target of growing the profession significantly, every qualified citizen accountant matters. The AT-to-PA upgrade rate (23 in 2026 to date vs 39 for the whole of 2025) shows the pathway is active - but more support at the foundation level is needed to accelerate it. CBBS is committed to filling that gap, one student at a time, starting from GCSE level.
