What you'll master

Capabilities the marketactually pays for.

Every outcome below is graded in a live AI role-play. No multiple choice. No participation trophies. You either hold the line under pressure or you don't — and if you don't, the debrief tells you exactly why.
  1. 01

    Trace a sales deposit and a rental trust transaction end-to-end, from receipt to disbursement, without gaps.

  2. 02

    Run a monthly reconciliation and end-of-month routine that closes clean every time, not just when there's time.

  3. 03

    Build an audit trail that stands up to scrutiny: authorities on file, sequential receipting, no unexplained balances.

  4. 04

    Recognise a trust deficiency early, understand the breach-reporting obligation it may trigger, and act on it correctly.

  5. 05

    Design fraud controls and user permissions appropriate to your agency's size, including segregation of duties.

  6. 06

    Prepare for an external audit knowing what an auditor actually samples and tests, not just what looks tidy.

  7. 07

    Produce management reports that give a principal a genuine read on trust and department health.

  8. 08

    Calculate desk cost and break-even per salesperson, and use both in a real remuneration or hiring decision.

  9. 09

    Distinguish GCI from retained revenue and PM department EBITDA, and calculate a defensible rent-roll multiple.

  10. 10

    Read a P&L, a cashflow position and the wages-to-revenue ratio well enough to challenge a number that looks wrong.
