AcademyThe Finance Lab

The Finance Lab: you run a company’s finance department.

The graduation project and practical training, with two doors: come in alone or with your group, without a university, or with your university, your section and your professor. The engine judges each student on their own.

Two doors

With your university, or without it.

Door one

Without a university

Alone or in a group of 2 to 5. Choose your track, leave with an achievement report and a coded certificate, and present them to your department if you wish.

Door two

With your university

Everything in door one, followed by your section and your professor from their always-free account. The university decides whether to approve it.

Door one

Without a university: alone or as a group.

  • You run the finance department of a company generated for you from one of the 138 activities, alone or with a group of 2 to 5.
  • Choose your track: the applied graduation project, or practical training as a block of hours.
  • The reviewer is the engine, followed by an individual test on new documents that proves the work is yours.
  • What needs a human judgement is shown, not scored automatically.
  • You leave with an achievement report and a coded certificate that say what was actually measured, and you may present them to your department. The decision is theirs.

The direct path awaits the content committee’s approval. Next

Door two · the university station

With your university: your section and your professor.

We start with a trial in one accounting department: one or two sections supervised by a professor.

The professor’s account, always free.

  • Sees only their own students and sections, and invites students with a section code.
  • Commitment to deadlines: each document has a recording window, so they see whether it was on time and how late.
  • Attendance: days logged in, actual working hours and absences. Hours alone are not evidence of quality.
  • Performance: accuracy, kinds of errors, the improvement curve, and planted errors caught or missed.
  • Grades with a weighting model they set, exports grades as CSV, with an audit log the student cannot edit.

Five roles in a group.

  1. 1Sales and receivables
  2. 2Purchasing, payables and inventory
  3. 3Payroll and fixed assets
  4. 4Treasury and reconciliations
  5. 5The financial controller

No one approves their own entry. Closing tasks are shared among members, and final approval belongs to the controller or the professor. Each student is judged against what is correct for their own task, even if the team fails.

The university decides.

Each year the department’s training committee approves its list of training providers, and we apply for the Finance Lab to be on it.

It counts toward field training if the university approves it. We do not write “approved as a substitute for field training” until a university approves it in writing; after that, its name appears with its permission.

An achievement report and a certificate that say what was actually measured, with no language implying a professional licence, real field experience, or a university approval that was not granted.

What the trial measures

  1. LearningAn individual test before and after the trial.
  2. CommitmentTransaction deadlines, attendance and actual working hours.
  3. The professor’s satisfactionThe supervising professor’s view of the trial.

A trial request for an accounting department

Your email opens with a ready message to the sales team, with the subject and these items to fill in:

  • University and department
  • Your role
  • Track: applied graduation project, practical training, or both

Or write directly to sales@cfoplus.ai

Two tracks

The graduation project, or practical training.

The individual is “the only accountant in a small company”: they take every role, and the planted errors sit in the books of “the previous accountant”. The professor stays the judge wherever a human judgement is needed.

Your lab company comes from one of 138 activities in eleven sectors

Restaurants, manufacturing, trade, services, health, education, hospitality, logistics, real estate, software as a service, and general activities.

Prices

Prices for universities, in a section of their own.

Four doors: individuals, companies, universities and supporters. Prices are in US dollars, and anything without a price here comes by written quote.

There is no payment provider on the site: our team activates paid plans on your account, and companies are invoiced.

Universities have their own section, separate from companies.

A university buys by seat, semester and tender, not by employee. The Finance Lab is “next”, so everything in this tab is “next”.
