Real Projects, Real Learning

Our students tackle business challenges that matter. These aren't practice exercises—they're actual financial planning cases, market analysis projects, and budget strategies that mirror what you'd encounter in a real workplace. Here's what our recent cohorts have built.

Each project represents months of work, mentorship from industry professionals, and the kind of problem-solving that prepares people for actual careers in finance. We don't believe in theoretical assignments. Everything here was developed for real scenarios.

Junior Financial Analyst

I spent six months building a full budget forecasting model for a manufacturing client. That project became my portfolio piece during interviews. Started as a junior analyst at a Perth firm in January 2026, and honestly, the transition felt natural because the work I did here was so similar to what I'm doing now.

Financial Planning Assistant

The retirement planning project I worked on included actual client data—anonymized, of course. Building those models with real numbers taught me things no textbook could. When I interviewed at my current firm, I walked them through the entire project. They hired me two days later. Started February 2026.
