Where Data Skills Lead

Real stories from professionals who transformed their approach to financial data interpretation across different industries and career stages

Diverse Pathways Forward

Our graduates come from varied backgrounds and find success in different ways. Here's how financial data literacy opened doors across multiple industries.

Healthcare Analytics

Thea Brightwell

Senior Financial Analyst, NHS Trust

Started as a general administrator with no finance background. After completing our program in late 2023, she began applying data interpretation techniques to departmental budgets. Her insights into cost patterns caught attention quickly.

"I discovered that our procurement cycles were creating unnecessary cash flow gaps. My analysis helped the trust save £180,000 in the first quarter of 2024 alone."

Technology Startup

Coral Whitmore

Head of Financial Operations, TechFlow Ltd

Joined a growing fintech company as their third employee. With our data interpretation skills, she built their entire financial reporting framework from scratch. The startup has since raised Series A funding.

"Being able to present clear, compelling financial narratives to investors was crucial. The data storytelling techniques I learned made all the difference during our funding rounds."

Manufacturing

Quincy Moorfield

Process Improvement Manager, Industrial Solutions Group

Twenty years in manufacturing operations, but financial data always felt like a foreign language. Our program changed that perspective entirely. Now she identifies cost-saving opportunities that others miss.

"I found a pattern in our equipment maintenance costs that revealed we were overspending by 23%. Management implemented my recommendations across all facilities."

Professional Services

Sage Ashworth

Senior Consultant, Strategic Advisory Partners

Moved from project coordination into client-facing consulting. The ability to interpret and present financial data clearly became her signature strength. Clients specifically request her for complex analysis projects.

"My approach to breaking down complex financial scenarios into understandable insights has become my calling card. Three major clients have extended their contracts specifically to work with me."

Multiple Routes to Success

Financial data interpretation isn't a one-size-fits-all skill. Our graduates find their own paths based on their interests, industry, and career goals. Some focus on operational efficiency, others on strategic planning.
