Financial Planning That Actually Makes Sense
We teach budgeting and forecasting the way it's really done—not from textbooks, but through scenarios you'll face next week. Our autumn 2025 programmes focus on building confidence with numbers, one realistic case at a time.

Why We Don't Promise Magic Numbers
Look, budgeting isn't magic. It's messy spreadsheets, unexpected expenses, and learning to read what your numbers are actually telling you. We built our programmes around that reality—teaching you to spot patterns, adjust forecasts, and make decisions when nothing goes to plan.
Our instructors work in finance. They bring current cases (anonymised, obviously) to class. You'll wrestle with real variance analysis, cash flow gaps, and those awkward moments when your forecast meets actual spending.
- Small cohorts where you can actually ask questions without feeling lost
- Case studies pulled from recent UK business scenarios
- Practical tools you'll use the following Monday
- Support from people who've made every budgeting mistake already
We're running new sessions starting October 2025. Results vary because every organisation is different, but you'll finish with frameworks that adapt to your situation rather than hoping one-size-fits-all templates somehow work.
What You'll Actually Learn
We break financial planning into digestible chunks—focusing on techniques that hold up when spreadsheets misbehave and stakeholders ask impossible questions.
Forecast Building
Creating projections that account for uncertainty rather than pretending everything will go perfectly to plan.
Budget Variance
Understanding why actual spending diverges from plans and what to do when the gap keeps growing.
Cash Flow Reality
Managing timing mismatches between income and expenses without constant panic.
Your Path Through Financial Foundations
Our programmes run over several months because cramming this stuff into a weekend doesn't work. You need time to apply concepts, make mistakes, and adjust your approach.
We start with fundamentals and build towards scenario planning—where you'll handle situations that textbooks avoid mentioning.
