October 16, Colombo (LNW): Niluka Jayasinghe, Founder and Managing Director of Global Bookkeeping Solutions Ltd. (GBS), has been named the Best Entrepreneur 2025 by CA Sri Lanka at its 46th National Conference of Chartered Accountants, held on October 09 at the Monarch Imperial, Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte.
The award recognises her exceptional leadership in transforming Sri Lanka’s role in the global knowledge economy and her contribution to advancing the business-process management (BPM) industry. Since launching GBS in 2018, Jayasinghe has established the company as a leading provider of cloud-based accounting and financial outsourcing services to clients across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Middle East.
Under her direction, GBS has achieved an extraordinary compound annual growth rate of 103 per cent over five years and now employs a team of more than 50 skilled finance professionals.
Accepting the honour, Jayasinghe highlighted the broader significance of her journey: “Sri Lanka’s true potential lies in exporting expertise, professionalism, and trust—not merely physical goods. This recognition is a tribute to all professionals, particularly women, who demonstrate that our capabilities are globally competitive.”
Before founding GBS, Jayasinghe built a strong foundation in global finance and regulatory compliance through her work with Ernst & Young, BPO Connect, and Ganrid Consultants. Beyond her company’s commercial success, she has made notable contributions to workforce development by training over 200 emerging finance professionals and promoting flexible, remote work arrangements—particularly for women seeking to build careers in finance.
Her recognition aligns with CA Sri Lanka’s focus on integrity, innovation, and meaningful impact—qualities highlighted in this year’s conference theme: “UPRISE – Global Insight >> Local Impact.”
Jayasinghe’s achievement not only reflects her personal excellence but also positions her as a trailblazer for Sri Lanka’s transition into a globally connected digital economy.
