What You'll Actually Learn

This isn't a survey course. We focus on specific skills that make forecasting and budgeting more accurate and less time-consuming. Each phase builds on the previous one.

1 Data Foundation & Analysis

Clean your data properly. Build reliable historical baselines. Understand variance analysis that goes beyond simple percentage changes. We spend three weeks here because everything else depends on this.

2 Forecasting Methods & Models

Time series analysis, regression models, scenario planning. You'll learn when to use each method and how to combine them. Most importantly, how to explain your assumptions to non-finance executives.

3 Budget Construction & Control

Zero-based budgeting versus incremental approaches. How to build flexibility into annual plans. Department-level budget reviews that actually help operational managers rather than frustrate them.

4 Systems & Automation

Excel power user techniques, database connections, dashboard design. We teach you how to reduce monthly close time and eliminate repetitive manual work that creates errors.

5 Real Business Application

Final four weeks involve working with actual company data (anonymized). Build a complete forecast and budget for a real organization. Present to executive panel. Receive detailed feedback.

Skills You'll Develop

We measure success by what participants can do after the program ends. These are the specific capabilities previous cohorts reported gaining.

Conduct variance analysis that identifies root causes rather than just documenting differences

Create rolling forecasts that update efficiently each month without rebuilding everything from scratch

Design budget processes that department managers actually follow because the requirements make sense

Present financial information to non-finance executives in ways they can understand and act on

Automate repetitive forecasting tasks using Excel tools and database connections most people don't know exist
