The mission of Balkan Finance Academy is to serve as a bridge between our people and the global world of financial and economic knowledge—most of which is available in English. Through clearly explained, thoughtfully translated, and locally adapted materials, we aim to bring global concepts closer to everyone eager to learn, grow, and advance.

We believe that knowledge should have no language or geographical barriers. That’s why we’re building a space where finance education becomes accessible, understandable, and applicable to people across the Balkans—regardless of their background or experience.

This project is a non-profit, educational initiative, created by a 19-year-old student at Penn State University, Smeal College of Business, with a mission to push the boundaries of knowledge and dive deeper beneath the surface of the Balkan mindset toward money.
