Featured Project: Small Business Cash Flow Analysis
This comprehensive project was completed by our September 2024 cohort, working with three local Queensland businesses to develop sustainable cash flow management strategies.

- Duration: 8 weeks intensive analysis
- Team size: 4 advanced students
- Businesses served: 3 local enterprises
