Real Work From Real Learners
Our students tackle genuine business challenges throughout their studies. These aren't toy projects—they're solving actual problems for Australian SMEs, building portfolios that speak louder than certificates ever could.
Beyond Classroom Theory
Look, anyone can follow a textbook. But can they explain why a Brisbane café's cash flow is bleeding out? Or why a Sydney retailer's inventory turns are sluggish?
Our November 2025 cohort will spend six months working alongside actual businesses. They'll dig through messy spreadsheets, chase down missing invoices, and build financial models that business owners actually use.
The learning curve is steep. Some students realize finance isn't for them—and that's valuable too. Better to discover that during training than three years into a career you hate.
What Our Alumni Built
Callum Prescott
2024 Graduate
I spent four months helping a Canberra manufacturing firm overhaul their costing system. Turns out they'd been pricing three product lines below cost for eighteen months. My analysis helped them correct course before things got worse. That work opened doors I didn't expect.
Rhiannon Devereux
2024 Graduate
The financial forecasting project I did for a tech startup became part of their investor pitch deck. Nothing fancy—just realistic projections backed by proper assumptions. Seeing my work used in actual fundraising conversations showed me what financial analysis means beyond the spreadsheet.
Current Projects In Progress
Retail Cash Flow Analysis
Mapping seasonal patterns for a Melbourne boutique chain. The goal is identifying working capital needs three months ahead instead of scrambling weekly.
Break-Even Modeling
Building scenario models for a Perth service business exploring expansion. Helping them understand what revenue actually needs to be before signing a new lease.
Cost Structure Review
Digging through three years of expenses for an Adelaide consulting firm. Sometimes the biggest insights come from simply categorizing costs properly.
