Financial Forecasting Mastery Program
Building real budgeting skills takes time. Our comprehensive program runs from September 2025 through March 2026, giving you the foundation to understand financial planning from multiple angles.
We've been teaching professionals in Bangkok's financial sector since 2019. The approach isn't about shortcuts—it's about understanding how forecasting models actually work and why certain methods fit specific business contexts.

What You'll Actually Learn
Six modules that build on each other. Each one takes about four weeks because understanding financial forecasting means working through real scenarios, not just memorizing formulas.
Financial Statement Fundamentals
You can't forecast what you don't understand. We start with reading balance sheets and income statements—not the theoretical version, but the messy real-world ones with footnotes and adjustments. By week four, you'll know why two analysts can look at the same statement and draw different conclusions.
Building Your First Forecast Model
Most people jump straight to Excel formulas. We spend the first two weeks planning on paper. What drivers matter? What assumptions are you making? A good model comes from clear thinking, and the spreadsheet is just documentation of that thinking.
Revenue Forecasting Methods
Different businesses need different approaches. A retail chain forecasts differently than a SaaS company. We work through four major methods and discuss when each one makes sense—and when it doesn't. The case studies here come from actual Thai businesses we've consulted with.
Cost Structure and Budget Planning
Revenue gets all the attention, but understanding your cost structure is where you actually control outcomes. Fixed versus variable costs sounds simple until you're categorizing office space during a hybrid work transition. Real scenarios get complicated fast.
Scenario Planning and Risk Assessment
A single forecast is almost useless. You need base case, optimistic, and pessimistic versions—but more importantly, you need to know what would trigger each scenario. We practice identifying early warning indicators and building contingency responses.
Presenting Financial Insights
Your analysis means nothing if stakeholders don't understand it. The final module focuses on translating technical work into clear narratives. We workshop actual presentations and critique what works and what creates confusion.
