Student Success Stories

Real transformations from our recent graduates who've moved into finance roles across Australia

Zarina Chen

Financial Analyst, Commonwealth Bank

I came from an engineering background with zero finance experience. The program didn't just teach me formulas — it showed me how to think like an analyst. The case studies using actual ASX companies made everything click.

What surprised me most was how much time we spent on presentation skills. Turns out, building the model is only half the job. You need to explain your findings clearly to stakeholders who don't live in spreadsheets.

"Within six months of completing the program, I'd moved from project management into corporate finance. The confidence I gained from working through real scenarios made all the difference in interviews."

Investment Associate, Macquarie Group

The program's focus on Australian market specifics was invaluable. Learning about AIFRS accounting standards and regulatory requirements gave me an edge that generic courses couldn't match.

My mentor, who works in M&A advisory, shared insights about deal structures and due diligence processes that you simply don't get from textbooks. Those conversations shaped how I approach complex modeling challenges today.

"The hands-on approach meant I graduated with a portfolio of models I'd built from scratch. When I interviewed at Macquarie, I could walk them through actual work, not just theoretical knowledge."

Corporate Finance Manager, Atlassian

I was working in accounting but wanted to move into strategic finance. The program bridges that gap perfectly — you learn to see the bigger picture beyond just recording transactions.

The group projects were challenging but realistic. We worked on a valuation for a tech startup, complete with multiple scenario planning and risk assessment. It felt like real work, which prepared me for the complexity I face daily now.

"The networking alone was worth the investment. I'm still in touch with classmates who've moved into different sectors — we share insights and opportunities regularly."
