Trusted by Accountants Across Lebanon

  • The content was organised, clear, effective and comprehensive, fully in line with the topics tested in the exam, with extra references provided. The trainer gives accurate, up-to-date information, encourages participation, covers every topic on a well-organised schedule, and after every session evaluates each trainee with constructive feedback. Most of all, he cares about the trainees and works with each of us individually.
    Mariam A.LACPA exam preparation
  • Excellent in every way: the timing, the encouragement, the communication and the explanations. The presentation methods are excellent, modern and easy, and we can go back and review any time. He follows up with trainees, motivates them, gives us all the information we need and makes sure we understand it, with plenty of examples, exercises and assignments to prepare us for the exams.
    Malak Z.LACPA exam preparation
  • The course covered law and taxation in detail, including every Lebanese law that affects accounting, through an organised curriculum with key questions on each law. The trainer used modern explanation methods, set out the objectives clearly, focused on the most important points, and gave constant personal guidance throughout the course.
    Areej K.Law and Taxation for the LACPA exam
  • Rich, well-presented content that explained the audit process at every stage, delivered in a distinctive way. Mahmoud is a big name in training: his explanations are exceptional at clarifying things and getting the idea across.
    Ahmad H.Auditing for the LACPA exam
  • An effective course that gives you the information you need to start preparing for the LACPA exams. The presentations are clear and easy to follow, and the trainer is effective and clear, open to discussing the topics and easy to communicate with.
    Nivine K.LACPA exam preparation
  • A very good course, rich in information, with an excellent way of explaining. The presentation and the trainer's performance were excellent.
    Ali Z.LACPA exam preparation
  • Very good content, with a well-connected, coherent flow of explanation. The way questions were answered, the clarity and the teaching style were all very good.
    Ayla K.Accounting Fundamentals
  • Good content, and a presentation style that is easy and comfortable, so the information comes across simply.
    Hussein A.IFRS (International Accounting Standards)
  • The study schedule and learning objectives were very clear from the beginning, which made the program flow smoothly. The program provided practical sessions and exercise evaluations where you were able to effectively highlight areas of improvement, which was of great value to become well prepared. I recommend Balance Brightness for candidates aiming to pass the LACPA exams efficiently, and for those who aim to retake the exam and increase their score through detecting and improving weak areas.
    Karam A.Law and Taxation for the LACPA exam
  • An excellent course in terms of content. Having gone through the exam questions, the examples and exercises are well matched and genuinely useful for understanding the whole subject. Easy, clear, and an approach built for thinking and analysis, not just memorising and applying one type of question. I benefited a lot and I loved the subject.
    Maria M.Auditing for the LACPA exam

Questions About LACPA Prep in Beirut

Do you run LACPA exam preparation in person in Beirut?

Yes. The LACPA Exam Preparation Program and each of its four subject courses run in person at our Hamra office in Beirut, and live online in the same cohort for candidates elsewhere in Lebanon or abroad.

Where in Beirut are the courses held?

In-person sessions run from our office on the 8th floor of the Modca Building on Hamra Main Street, Beirut, in the same building as Byblos Bank. It is central and easy to reach from across the city.

Do I have to attend in person in Beirut?

No. Every programme is also available live online, so you can join the same cohort from anywhere in Lebanon or abroad. Sessions are live and interactive, never pre-recorded.

Which courses are specific to Lebanon?

The LACPA Exam Preparation Program, Lebanese tax filing, payroll and social security, Lebanese accounting law and the MoF portal course are built on Lebanese law and practice. The CPA, CMA, IFRS and financial analysis programmes are international.

How much does accounting training in Lebanon cost with Balance Brightness?

Every course page lists its fee, and that fee covers the whole programme rather than a single session. Because this is coaching, tell us your goal and starting level and we will confirm the right programme and its cost before you commit. Organisations training a full team get a tailored rate.

Do you train accountants and finance teams outside Lebanon?

Yes. Beyond Lebanon, we serve Riyadh and Dubai through live online cohorts and in-company training delivered at your premises. The international programmes (CPA, CMA, IFRS, financial analysis) are the ones offered there.
