What We've Learned From Teaching 400+ Teams

Since 2019, we've worked with everyone from startups trying to survive their first year to established firms rethinking their entire financial approach. Most tell us the same thing—they needed someone to cut through the theory and show them what budget reviews actually look like in practice.

The teams that stick with our program usually see clearer financial visibility within three months. That doesn't mean instant profits or magic solutions. It means better conversations about money and fewer surprises during quarterly reviews.

What You Can Reasonably Expect

We're not going to promise that your budget will magically fix itself. What you will get is a structured approach to reviewing financial data, catching problems earlier, and having more informed conversations with your team about resource allocation. The numbers on the right come from tracking participants over their first year after completing the program.

Weeks 1-2

Understanding Your Current State

We start by mapping how your budget review currently works. Most teams discover they're doing more manual work than necessary and missing some basic checks.

Weeks 3-5

Building Better Review Frameworks

You'll learn how to set up systematic variance analysis and early warning indicators. We use real budget scenarios from past years to practice.

Weeks 6-8

Communication and Reporting

The technical part is easier than getting everyone to understand the numbers. We cover how to present financial data to different audiences without losing clarity.

Weeks 9-12

Implementation With Your Data

Final month is applying everything to your actual budget. You'll run a complete review cycle with our feedback and adjust your approach based on what works for your specific situation.
