Real Projects, Real Experience

Our students work on actual financial reporting challenges. These aren't theoretical exercises—they're the kind of problems analysts face every week when preparing documents for investors and stakeholders.

How Projects Build Your Skills

Each project targets specific competencies that employers actually look for. We've talked to dozens of finance teams to understand what matters most.

Core Learning

Cash Flow Analysis

Build statements from raw transaction data. Learn to spot patterns that matter to investors.

Quarterly Reports

Draft sections that explain performance without jargon. Clarity beats complexity every time.

Risk Assessment

Identify and document potential issues before they become problems worth mentioning to boards.

Data Verification

Cross-check numbers across multiple sources. Mistakes in reporting can be expensive.

Presentation Skills

Turn complex data into visuals that stakeholders can actually use in decision-making.

Compliance Checks

Ensure reports meet disclosure requirements. Regulatory compliance isn't optional.

What Students Actually Did

These are examples from our 2024 cohort. Different backgrounds, different goals—but all working on meaningful projects.

Callum Rigby

Environmental Science Background

I came from a research background with zero finance experience. My project involved analyzing a mining company's environmental spending disclosures. Turns out my science background helped—I could spot when technical descriptions didn't match the numbers. The feedback sessions were tough but helpful.

Sienna Blackwood

Former Marketing Coordinator

My capstone project focused on preparing investor presentations for a tech startup. I'd done plenty of marketing decks before, but this was different—every claim needed backing data, and the audience asked harder questions. It took three revisions before I got comfortable with the level of detail required.

What Makes These Projects Different

Most training programs give you sanitized examples where everything adds up perfectly. That's not how real reporting works. Our projects include messy data, missing information, and competing priorities—because that's what you'll face in actual roles.

We source scenarios from companies across Australia. Some are startups preparing their first annual reports. Others are established businesses dealing with restructuring or regulatory changes. The variety means you'll see different reporting challenges and industry contexts.
