Chennai's Finance & Accounting Training Institute

Real Finance Roles.
Not Back-Office Jobs.

Most finance and accounting "placements" are happening in operations roles. Reconciliations, settlements, KYC. We have placed 50+ students, every one of them in core finance and accounting roles: equity research, credit analysis, investment and product control. Fewer placements, better careers.

About Skilledgrad

Built by People with Industry Experience,
For People Aspiring for Finance and Accounting roles

Skilledgrad was founded in Chennai by two finance professionals who spent fifteen years inside the industry before they taught a single class. Between them they worked in various profiles in the investment industry at Standard Chartered, Barclays, and CRISIL.

That background shapes everything here. We teach the work as it is actually done, we cap intake so every student gets attention, and we measure ourselves on whether students land core finance roles rather than on how many we enrol.
