Cultivating qualified compound talents suitable for the needs of the future financial indus-try has become an important task for the construction of finance major in colleges and universities. PBL (project-based learning) is an inquiry learning based on project activities, which is a teaching activity carried out by teachers and students through the joint implementation of a complete project. The project here is mainly designed for a certain teaching content, which can be independently com-pleted by students and can receive good teaching results. The application of PBL in the teaching of finance major is conducive to consolidating students' theoretical foundation and cultivating stu-dents' comprehensive ability. It not only conforms to the teaching characteristics of this subject, but also meets the requirements of vocational education. This teaching mode is in line with the teaching objectives of secondary vocational education, and appropriately solves the problem of students' em-ployment difficulties. PBL plays a positive role in the teaching of finance major.
