Budget Frameworks That Work in Practice

We don't teach theory alone. Our participants work with actual budget scenarios from small businesses, mid-sized companies, and organizations facing real financial challenges. You'll see how different approaches apply in different contexts.

Starting in September 2025, our curriculum covers zero-based budgeting, rolling forecasts, and variance analysis using case studies from Bangkok's diverse business landscape. Each method gets tested against realistic constraints and unexpected changes.

  • Work with actual financial data from multiple industries
  • Build budgets that accommodate uncertainty and change
  • Learn to communicate financial plans to non-finance stakeholders
  • Practice adjusting forecasts based on market shifts

Three Core Components of Our Program

We've structured the learning experience around hands-on application, collaborative problem-solving, and direct feedback from working finance professionals.

Peer Review Sessions

Budget preparation benefits from multiple perspectives. Our small group format means you'll regularly review others' work and receive detailed feedback on your own approaches. This builds both technical skills and communication ability.
