Rolling Budget Techniques That Actually Work in Real Time
Most budgets are outdated the moment they're finished. We teach you how to build financial plans that evolve with your business—not against it. Starting September 2025, you can join professionals who are rethinking the way money gets managed.

Traditional annual budgets lock you into assumptions that rarely survive contact with reality. Markets shift. Costs fluctuate. Opportunities appear when you least expect them.
Rolling budgets let you adjust as you go. You're always looking forward twelve months, but you're updating your plan every quarter based on what's actually happening. It's not about predicting the future perfectly—it's about staying responsive.
Our program runs for eight months and covers everything from forecasting techniques to variance analysis. You'll work with real financial data and learn from scenarios that mirror what businesses face in Australia and beyond.

Live workshops twice weekly, recorded for replay. You can watch at your own pace or join us in real time. Most students find the live discussions valuable, but flexibility matters.

Cohort Groups
You'll be matched with 4-6 other participants for peer review and case study work. These small groups often become professional networks that last beyond the program.
Self-Paced Materials
Every module includes readings, templates, and exercises you can work through independently. Good for reinforcing concepts or getting ahead when you have extra time.
One-on-One Check-Ins
Three private sessions with your assigned mentor throughout the program. Bring specific challenges from your workplace or get feedback on your project work.

What Happens Over Eight Months
The program builds progressively. Each phase prepares you for the next, and by month seven, you're applying everything you've learned to real-world scenarios.
Foundation Phase (Months 1-2)
You'll learn why static budgets fail and how rolling forecasts address those limitations. We cover basic financial concepts and introduce the software tools you'll use throughout the course.
Building Phase (Months 3-4)
Time to construct your first rolling budget. You'll work with sample data to create forecasts, identify key drivers, and set up variance tracking systems that actually get used.
Refinement Phase (Months 5-6)
Now you're adjusting and analyzing. Learn how to spot trends early, communicate changes to stakeholders, and make decisions based on updated forecasts rather than outdated plans.
Application Phase (Months 7-8)
Put everything together through case studies and optional real-world projects. Many participants use this time to develop frameworks they can take directly into their current roles.
