A real exercise
A €2 million supplier bill is due in 13 weeks. €1.5 million is certain; the rest may be cancelled, depending on a customer's decision. The exchange rate has already moved against the budget. You decide how much to lock in, how, and explain the worst case to the CFO.
How it works
Every exercise follows the same rhythm as the real job: a problem arrives, you investigate, you act, and the simulated company responds.
- 01
Read the position
Cash, debt terms and currency exposures.
- 02
Forecast
Thirteen weeks of cash, week by week.
- 03
Decide
Which levers to pull and what to hedge.
- 04
Recommend
A short note to the CFO. Once sent, it's locked.
What you practise
Concrete tasks taken from the exercises on this page. Each one is done with real data, under real constraints, inside the same simulated company.
- T01
13-week cash forecasting
Find the tightest week, not just the average.
- T02
Liquidity levers
Price the options and their side effects.
- T03
Loan conditions
Keep within what the bank requires.
- T04
FX hedging
Protect a foreign-currency payment.
What you get
Experience you can point to.
- 01
Practical finance experience
Real treasury decisions, not textbook exercises.
- 02
Clear thinking under constraints
More than one valid answer, and you have to defend yours.
The tools you work with
Working tools, not screenshots. They read the same live data as the rest of the simulated company, and what you change in one shows up in the others.
- 01
13-week cash forecast
Where cash dips below the minimum, and what the lender's covenant test will say.
- 02
Currency desk
Quotes, existing hedges, and what a foreign-currency payable costs under each rate.

A debrief after every attempt
You see what went well, what did not, and what a stronger approach looks like, based on what you actually did.
Every action, in order
What was checked, who was asked, what was changed and when. Nothing is overwritten.
Scores by skill
Each exercise scores the skills it was built to test, from what was actually done.
Weak habits, flagged
Poor patterns in how the work was done are flagged, not only wrong final answers.
A replay of the attempt
