Why Our Approach Actually Makes Sense

We've spent years watching businesses make the same forecasting mistakes. So we built a training method that addresses the real problems – not the theoretical ones.

Scenario-Based Learning

You'll work with actual case studies from Australian businesses. No generic examples – these are real forecasting challenges that require adaptive thinking and nuanced solutions.

Practical Model Building

Forget complex formulas that nobody uses. We focus on building forecasts you can actually maintain and update. The kind your team will still be using six months later.

Context Over Templates

Every business has different needs. Our training helps you understand the principles behind forecasting so you can adapt methods to your specific industry and market conditions.

Learning That Sticks Beyond the Classroom

Here's what bothers me about most finance training – people leave feeling motivated but can't actually apply what they learned. We've structured our courses differently.

Our programs run over several weeks, giving you time to test methods with your own data. You'll make mistakes (everyone does), but you'll have guidance to correct them. That's how real learning happens.

  • Weekly practice sessions with your actual business numbers
  • Direct feedback on your forecasting models from experienced practitioners
  • Access to templates that evolve as you learn – not static downloads
  • Small cohort sizes so questions actually get answered properly

What You'll Actually Walk Away With

Skills matter more than certificates. By the end of our training, you'll have working forecasts and the confidence to adjust them as conditions change.

Cash Flow Visibility

You'll build three-way forecasts that connect your P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow. Not because it's fancy, but because that's how you spot problems before they become crises.

Variance Analysis Skills

Understanding why your actuals differ from forecasts is where the real insight lives. We'll teach you how to dig into variances and use them to improve future predictions.

Sensitivity Testing

Markets change. Your forecasts need to adapt. You'll learn how to model different scenarios without rebuilding everything from scratch each time.

Lead Instructor, Budget Forecasting

I've been building financial models for Australian businesses since 2011. Started in corporate banking, moved to consulting, and eventually realized the best way to help companies was through proper education.

My approach is simple – if you can't explain a forecasting technique in plain language, it's probably not worth using. I focus on methods that work in real business environments, not just in textbooks.

  • 14 years experience in financial planning and analysis
  • Former senior analyst at major Australian financial institutions
  • Developed forecasting frameworks for companies ranging from startups to ASX-listed businesses
