FMACCA FM tuition in Singapore and online. Working capital, investment appraisal, cost of capital, business finance and risk, with timed exam practice.
Overview
Financial Management (FM) is the Applied Skills paper that teaches the decisions a finance manager makes: which projects to invest in, how to fund them, how to manage cash and working capital, and how to manage risk. It covers the financial management function and environment, working capital management, investment appraisal, business finance, cost of capital, business valuations and risk management.
FM is a 3-hour computer-based exam worth 100 marks.
The pass mark is 50%.
ACCA is moving to a new qualification structure. June 2027 is the final sitting of the current Applied Skills exams, including FM, and the first Expertise and Strategic Professional exams are sat in September 2027. If you plan to sit FM in June 2027 or later, ask us how the change affects your route.
Classes are led by Paul William, founder of TutorPOD, who holds ACCA, CIMA and CA Singapore qualifications. FM lessons work through each technique step by step, then practise exam-style questions with real-time problem solving in class, so you learn both the method and how to explain the answer. You get structured notes and timed mocks with personalised feedback.
Classes run live online and in person in Singapore, in small groups or 1-to-1.
FM is one of the six Applied Skills papers. At Strategic Professional level, it leads to the Advanced Financial Management (AFM) Options paper.

FAQ
FM is a 3-hour computer-based exam worth 100 marks. Section A has 15 objective test questions worth 2 marks each, Section B has three 10-mark objective test cases, and Section C has two 20-mark constructed response questions. The pass mark is 50%.
Section C questions come from working capital management, investment appraisal and business finance, so these three areas need the most practice.
FM uses formulas, but the maths itself is not advanced. Most difficulty comes from knowing which technique to use and setting out workings clearly, which improves quickly with practice.
FM is the foundation for Advanced Financial Management (AFM), one of the Strategic Professional Options papers.
Yes. FM is taught live online on Zoom, Google Meet or PodCall, and in person at the Tampines and Waterloo centres in Singapore.
