How We Got Here
Our first training program had seven
participants in a borrowed conference room. We'd
prepared this elaborate curriculum, but within
twenty minutes it became obvious—people didn't
need theory. They needed someone to sit with
them and show them how to build a forecast that
reflected their actual business rhythm.
So we scrapped the presentation and spent four
hours working through real scenarios. One
participant was tracking inventory for a
restaurant chain. Another managed cash flow for
seasonal retail. Different challenges, but
similar confusion about translating daily
operations into meaningful financial
projections.
That first session taught us everything. People
learn financial planning by doing it, not by
watching slideshows about best practices. Every
program we've run since follows that principle.
By mid-2022, we'd worked with about forty
businesses across Bangkok. Manufacturing,
hospitality, small tech startups. Each one
needed something different, but they all
benefited from practical, hands-on guidance
rather than generic consulting.
