Piroi becomes an ACCA Approved Employer - Trainee Development, Platinum
Group Expert Consulting 2000 SRL (Piroi) is an ACCA Approved Employer - Trainee Development, at Platinum level, from 18 October 2026. ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) granted the status in recognition of the support the firm provides to ACCA trainees working towards the ACCA Qualification. The approval is valid until 31 December 2029.
The approval is listed in ACCA’s Approved Employer directory (country: Romania).
What ACCA Approved Employer covers
The approval covers the firm’s accounting and finance roles at its Bucharest office. ACCA granted it after assessing the firm’s study support policy and the practical experience trainees can gain in these roles.
What ACCA trainees receive at Piroi
Under the firm’s ACCA Study Support Policy, ACCA trainees receive:
Paid exam and study leave: one paid day of exam leave and two paid days of study leave for each exam at the first attempt, in addition to annual leave.
ACCA fees: payment of the student registration fee, the annual student subscription, exemption fees and first-attempt exam fees.
Membership: payment of the one-off ACCA membership admission fee when they qualify.
Supervision: a practical experience supervisor, a member of CECCAR, who reviews their practical experience at least once a year.
Any employee in a finance role at the Bucharest office who is a registered ACCA student is covered automatically.
What changes for trainees
Trainees working for an ACCA Approved Employer at Gold or Platinum level can, with the employer’s approval, claim exemption from the performance objective component of ACCA’s practical experience requirement. Piroi allows its ACCA trainees to claim this exemption. They still record their period of relevant employment in My Experience.
“Professional qualifications matter in our work. ACCA’s assessment confirms that our study support policy meets its standards.” Maria Piroi, CEO
