Shehan Nimanga Senanayake amongst CIMA’s youngest achievers to excel, under 20

The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) professional qualification is widely considered the most relevant global finance qualification for a career in business. This makes it a popular choice for school leavers who desire to qualify fast and succeed in their chosen careers. Completing CIMA exams is widely considered to be an indicator to employers of one possessing the knowledge, competencies and skills of a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA).

Shehan Senanayake, is amongst a select few high achievers to have successfully completed the CIMA qualification under the age of 20. He pursued his CIMA studies at Wisdom Business Academy. HR, management, financial accounting, management accounting and costing are some of the many topics he learnt. The skills and knowhow he gained from CIMA has been put to good use in his work as an Intern at Frontier Research where he translates financial statements into insightful data on organisational performance.

The qualification has also helped him save time and money while CIMA’s flexibility remains second to none. This is in stark contrast to other business qualifications available today and is what has made CIMA a class apart from the rest. Apart from equipping young students for unprecedented career growth at a very young age, what the parents of many students really appreciate is the CIMA qualification’s practicality and focus on employability. Sharing his justification for deciding to pursue CIMA, Shehan notes, “The recognition that CIMA has among the corporates, as well as its wide spanning subject matter, was very appealing to me.”

Being an exam complete, the qualification helps him showcase his skills and experience globally while his connection to a community of like-minded peers demonstrates his commitment to lifelong learning, ethics and professionalism. This has given Shehan and many other CIMA students and members the kick-start they need to soar to greater heights, on both personal and career fronts.
