Learning That Actually Works

We've been teaching budget strategy since 2019. What started as workshops for small businesses has grown into something much more comprehensive. The thing is, most budget training focuses on theory. Ours doesn't.

Every case study comes from real businesses we've worked with here in Thailand. You'll see the actual numbers, the mistakes, and what happened when strategies were applied correctly. It's messy sometimes, but that's how real business works.

  • Work with actual business data from Thai companies
  • Monthly one-on-one sessions with practicing budget consultants
  • Build your own budget framework using proven methodologies
  • Practice difficult conversations about budget constraints
  • Learn to spot red flags before they become problems

What You'll Actually Learn

We break everything down into four phases. Each builds on the previous one, but you won't feel overwhelmed. Most students tell us the pace feels natural – challenging but doable.

1

Budget Fundamentals

Start with the basics most people skip. Cash flow patterns, seasonal variations, and how to read what your numbers are really telling you. We use real examples from retail and service businesses.

2

Strategic Planning

Connect your budget to actual business goals. Learn how successful companies think about resource allocation and why some budget strategies fail completely.

3

Implementation Skills

The hard part isn't making a budget – it's getting people to follow it. Practice managing stakeholder expectations and handling budget revisions when things don't go as planned.

4

Advanced Techniques

Scenario planning, risk assessment, and budget optimization strategies used by larger companies. Plus how to present budget recommendations that actually get approved.
