THE ULTIMATE CASE STUDY EXPERIENCE
Join us for a 2-day tax intensive case study competition in Brisbane where we’ll amplify your studies in accounting, and put theory in to practice with real-world case studies.
Work individually, or as a team, to make strategic recommendations to your “client”, while applying concepts around structuring, asset protection, and tax planning strategy.
Network with industry professionals and enhance your CV - then walk away with a professional headshot, a formal Nudge reference letter, and the chance to take home $1,000 in travel vouchers.
No textbooks. No multiple choice. Just real problems, real thinking, and a nudge in the right direction.
for final and penultimate year accounting students

INDUSTRY ACCESS
Learn directly from Nudge's team of business tax specialists.
Ask the questions you can't ask in a lecture theatre.
03
CV STANDOUT
Something genuinely worth talking about in every graduate interview.
Not a quiz - a real advisory challenge.

The winning entrant/team takes home $1,000 in travel vouchers and a Nudge merch pack.
Plus every entrant receives a professional headshot and a formal reference letter.

THE WINNING INDIVIDUAL/TEAM WILL RECEIVE $1,000 WORTH OF TRAVEL VOUCHERS AND A NUDGE PRIZE-PACK
All entrants receive professional headshots in digital format, and a formal reference.
NO HEDGING.
NO MAYBES.
Just a nudge in the right direction.
WHO SHOULD APPLY
BUILT FOR THE CURIOUS ONES.
We're not looking for the student with the highest GPA.
We're looking for the one who questions the structure, spots what others miss, and wants to understand the why - not just the answer.
