Lachlan Kershaw worked with a family to restructure their monthly spending. The project included tracking habits over six weeks, identifying problem areas, and building a sustainable plan that saved them roughly $400 monthly without drastic lifestyle changes.
Freya Bellingham created a forecasting tool for a local café owner who struggled with seasonal fluctuations. Her model helped predict quiet periods and plan accordingly, which made purchasing decisions easier and reduced waste significantly.
Projects aren't just assignments. They're opportunities to develop judgment, communication skills, and the ability to adapt financial concepts to messy real-world situations.
Working with actual data from real people teaches you to navigate incomplete information and conflicting priorities. You learn what works when textbook solutions don't quite fit.
Explaining financial concepts to someone unfamiliar with budgeting terminology is harder than it sounds. Projects force you to translate jargon into plain language that actually helps people.
Case studies based on real work demonstrate your thinking process to future employers or clients. You can show how you approached problems, not just claim you know theory.
