About Course
About SAP FICO (Finance and Controlling) Training
This is the most demanding finance market in the country: bank head offices running regulatory reporting, capital markets firms running settlement accounting, and group finance teams consolidating acquisition after acquisition. The pace is high and the stakes of a wrong configuration are higher than anywhere else.
Consultancy and audit firms operate here too, which means the local consultant is often the person explaining a system to a regulator or a board rather than the person building it. A candidate who can do both is in constant demand, and employers here pay a premium for the ability to write for two very different audiences.
This Mumbai page carries the same 12-week, 72-hour SAP FICO (Finance and Controlling) Training syllabus, faculty and assessment as the master programme, delivered live online and in hybrid format, with classroom batches at our Thoraipakkam centre.

Course Overview
12-week SAP FICO training on S/4HANA: general ledger, AP and AR, asset accounting, controlling, product costing and the period-end close with exam practice.
Why Learn SAP FICO (Finance and Controlling) Training
Banks and capital markets houses here hire for regulatory configuration, and a candidate who can read a requirement from a circular and turn it into a system setting is rare.
Advisory practices hire consultants who can explain a design to a board, which is a writing skill most technical training skips entirely.
Consolidation work in this market is large in scope and highly visible, so a candidate who has run one has an unusually strong first project.
Who Should Join This Course
- Commerce and accounting graduates — You are targeting SAP finance roles and need a system project, not only marks
- Chartered accountants moving into systems — You know the accounting and want to carry it inside a transaction system
- Finance team members on SAP — You use the transactions and want to understand the postings behind them
- Cost accountants and plant controllers — You own the cost numbers and want to configure where they come from
- SAP functional support associates — You support finance users and need the configuration logic, not only the clicks
- Career switchers from finance operations — You have the domain and need the system half of the job
Prerequisites
You need to be comfortable with accounting, not with software. You should know what a debit and a credit are, what a trial balance is, and how a vendor invoice becomes a payment and a customer invoice becomes a receipt. Many people in this course are commerce or accounting graduates, chartered accountants working towards a system role, and finance professionals who have managed a ledger in another system. You do not need to have used SAP, and you do not need to write code. If you have never configured anything, the first module rebuilds the organisational structure of an enterprise from scratch.
Learning Objectives
- Post and reverse financial accounting documents with the correct chart of accounts
- Process vendor and customer master data, invoices, payments and dunning cycles
- Maintain asset classes, run depreciation and close the asset register
- Set up cost elements, cost centres and internal orders and assign them correctly
- Run product costing and profitability analysis and read a cost variance
- Explain the automatic postings each business transaction creates in the ledger
- Close a period in SAP, carry balances forward and reconcile the subledgers

What the Programme Is Built On

Hands-on Practice and Capstone
Capstone: Configure and post an end-to-end finance cycle for a trading entity: create the chart of accounts and cost elements, post vendor and customer invoices, receive a payment, acquire and depreciate an asset, collect project costs on an internal order, and cost a production order. Then close the period, reconcile the subledgers against the general ledger, write the close memo, and defend the decisions in a mock functional interview.
Production scenario: A trading company has migrated its ledger to SAP and the first close has not finished. The subledger does not agree with the general ledger, costs are landing in the wrong cost centre, and the auditors want a reconciliation. You are hired to close the books and leave a process that survives the next close.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SAP FICO training course?
It is a 12-week, 72-hour programme on the finance and controlling core of SAP S/4HANA, taught on a live client. You post to the general ledger, process payables and receivables, maintain assets, set up cost centres and internal orders, cost a production order, and close a period with reconciliations. The course ends with a finance-cycle capstone and a timed practice paper for the SAP Certified Associate credential.
How is SAP FICO different from SAP MM, SAP PP and the general SAP training course?
The general SAP course surveys ERP, navigation and the cross-module cycle, and is the right start for a first-timer. SAP MM is the procurement module and SAP PP the production module; this course takes the finance and controlling side: what a transaction posts into the ledger, how cost is collected, and how a period is closed. If your job title says finance, accounting or cost accountant, FICO is the one named in it.
Do I need prior SAP experience or accounting knowledge to join?
You need accounting knowledge and no SAP experience. You should know what a debit and a credit are, what a trial balance is, and how an invoice becomes a payment. You do not need to have configured anything, and you do not need to write code; the first module rebuilds the organisational structure of an enterprise so a first-time SAP learner can follow from the first session.
Which SAP areas and financial transactions does the course cover?
The syllabus follows the published objectives for the SAP Certified Associate credential in financial accounting and controlling. You work on general ledger posting and reversal, vendor and customer invoices, payments and dunning, asset acquisition and depreciation, cost centres, internal orders, cost object accounting and profitability analysis, and you close a period with subledger reconciliations.
Is the course suitable for commerce graduates and career switchers?
Yes, and most of the room is made up of commerce and accounting graduates, chartered accountants moving towards a systems role, and finance team members who have used a ledger in another system. The teaching is built around what a finance function actually does in a live month, not around the transaction codes, and the capstone gives you a documented close cycle to talk about in an interview.
Will this course make me a SAP FICO consultant?
No course can promise a role, and this one will not pretend otherwise. What it gives you is the configuration and posting logic that a functional interview on FICO actually tests, a reviewed capstone close cycle, an exam-aligned revision plan, and the placement cell to introduce you to hiring partners for entry-level SAP finance and finance analyst roles.
What is the fee and how are batches run?
The programme fee is ₹18,000 – ₹75,000 depending on the batch and mode, and the SAP exam fee is paid to SAP separately. It runs 12 weeks with three sessions a week of two hours, in classroom, live online or hybrid mode, with weekday, weekend and evening batches. Enquire on +91 8610964691 for the next batch date.
What does an SAP FICO consultant earn here?
An SAP FICO functional consultant role here commonly pays ₹12 to 22 LPA, and senior and principal roles reach ₹25 to 38 LPA in banking and advisory practices. This is the highest band in the country for the role, and the competition for it is exactly as real as the number implies.
Who hires SAP FICO consultants here?
Bank and insurance finance systems teams hire for regulatory configuration, capital markets firms hire for settlement accuracy and reconciliation, group finance offices hire for post-acquisition consolidation, and advisory and assurance practices hire for systems evidence and board-level explanation. The premium here goes to consultants who can write for two audiences in the same week.
Can I attend this batch from this city?
Yes. Classroom batches run at our Thoraipakkam centre, and candidates here join the same live online or hybrid cohort with the same faculty. Evening and weekend starts are available, which matters when a close timetable can be moved at short notice, and the reconciliation lab is marked by the same faculty everywhere.
Is classroom training available in Mumbai?
No. SkilBrill's classroom runs only in Chennai. Learners in Mumbai join the same live online / hybrid cohort taught by the Chennai faculty, with proctored labs and the same placement support.
Which companies hire for these skills in Mumbai?
Learners in Mumbai typically target a mix of MNCs and startups such as Deloitte, Accenture, TCS. The programme's placement support applies equally to Mumbai learners.
