Stop guessing where your money's going next quarter
Most businesses stumble through their finances with spreadsheets from 2018 and vague hunches about cash flow. We teach you how to build forecasts that work in real life—not just on paper. Our autumn 2025 program starts with what you already know and builds from there.
See What You'll Learn
Your business has rhythms you probably haven't noticed. We show you how to spot seasonal dips, unexpected spikes, and those weird patterns that repeat every March. Once you see them, forecasting gets easier.
What happens if your biggest client leaves? Or if that new product takes off? We teach you to model different futures without needing a finance degree. It's about preparing for what might happen, not just what you hope will happen.
Numbers alone don't make decisions. We help you build systems for evaluating investments, timing big purchases, and knowing when to hold off. Your forecast becomes a tool you actually use, not a document that sits in a drawer.
Cillian ran a consultancy in Brisbane. Every month felt like a surprise—sometimes good, usually stressful. He couldn't tell if they'd make payroll three months out because everything seemed random.
Then he spent six weeks learning to track leading indicators. Not complicated stuff—just patterns in proposal activity, client payment cycles, and project timelines. Within two months, he could predict revenue within 8% accuracy.
The breakthrough came when he realized his February slump wasn't random. It happened because November proposals typically took 90 days to convert. Once he saw that, he adjusted his outreach timing and smoothed out the revenue curve.
He didn't become a financial wizard. He just learned to pay attention to the right signals. Now he plans hiring six months out, times equipment purchases for maximum cash flow benefit, and sleeps better. That's what good forecasting does.
We don't hand you generic templates. You bring your actual numbers—messy spreadsheets welcome—and we help you find the story they're telling. Most people have better data than they think. It's just buried in invoices, bank statements, and that folder labeled "Financials Random."
Forget the 47-tab Excel workbooks. We start with three-line forecasts that actually make sense. Revenue, costs, cash position. Once you trust the basics, we layer in more detail. Complexity comes later, if you even need it.
Every forecast is wrong. The question is by how much and why. We teach you to review what actually happened versus what you predicted, adjust your assumptions, and get better over time. This isn't about perfection—it's about useful accuracy.
Your forecast should answer questions like "Can we hire someone?" or "Should we wait on that equipment?" We help you build rules for common decisions so you're not reinventing the wheel every time something comes up. Think of it as your financial operating system.
Construction Company Owner
Used to run out of cash between big projects even though the business was profitable on paper. Learned to forecast project payment schedules and now maintains a three-month buffer. Says the weird thing was realizing he had all the information already—he just wasn't organizing it right.
E-commerce Operator
His inventory forecasting was killing him. Either too much stock sitting around or running out during busy periods. After learning to model demand patterns and lead times properly, his cash tied up in inventory dropped by nearly a third. Still growing sales, just doing it smarter.
We run small cohorts because budget forecasting works better when you can ask questions about your specific situation. You're not sitting in a lecture hall learning theory—you're in a working session with people dealing with similar challenges.
The autumn program runs eight weeks with weekly sessions. You'll need about four hours a week including the session time. By the end, you'll have a working forecast model for your business and know how to maintain it going forward.
Spots typically fill up by late July, so if you're interested in the September intake, worth checking in sooner rather than later. We also run a summer intensive in January 2026 for people who want to knock it out faster.
Our learning program page has the full details on what's covered, timing, and what you'll walk away with. Or if you want to talk through whether it's right for your situation, reach out directly. We're pretty straightforward about who this helps and who might need something different.
