Financial Planning Courses Starting Late 2025
We're planning three intensive courses for budgeting professionals and small business owners who need practical forecasting skills. Registration opens in August 2025, with classes running September through December.
Each course focuses on different forecasting approaches. You'll work through actual financial scenarios from South Korean SMEs, learning techniques that apply to real budget challenges.
These aren't certification programs. They're practical workshops where you'll develop your own forecasting models and get feedback from others working on similar problems.
Three Courses, Different Approaches
We designed these around the most common requests from our consulting clients—people who need better forecasting systems but don't have time for lengthy programs.
Cash Flow Forecasting Fundamentals
Build a rolling 13-week cash forecast that actually reflects your business patterns. We'll cover seasonal adjustments, payment timing variations, and how to spot potential shortfalls before they happen.
Request Course DetailsAnnual Budget Planning Workshop
Create next year's operating budget using driver-based forecasting. You'll develop your own budget model that connects operational metrics to financial outcomes, making adjustments easier throughout the year.
Request Course DetailsScenario Planning for Variable Revenue
Design three-scenario forecasts that help with decisions when revenue fluctuates. Best for businesses with project-based income or seasonal variation who need flexible planning frameworks.

Lead Facilitator
I've spent twelve years building forecasting systems for manufacturing and service companies around Suwon. These courses reflect what actually works when you're managing budgets with limited data and changing conditions.
Common Forecasting Problems We Address
Dealing With Insufficient Historical Data
New businesses or those launching different services often lack meaningful historical patterns. Traditional forecasting methods break down when you can't rely on past performance.
We teach proxy-based forecasting using comparable business data and industry benchmarks. You'll learn to identify useful patterns from adjacent markets and adjust them for your specific situation.
Managing Multiple Revenue Streams
Businesses with diverse income sources struggle to forecast accurately because each revenue type follows different patterns. A single consolidated forecast often misses important variations.
Build separate forecasts for each significant revenue stream, then consolidate with appropriate weighting. This modular method lets you adjust individual components without rebuilding your entire forecast.
Incorporating Non-Financial Drivers
Financial forecasts that only look at past financial data miss operational realities. Changes in production capacity, staffing levels, or market conditions affect outcomes but don't show up in traditional models.
Connect operational metrics directly to financial outcomes. You'll identify which non-financial factors actually drive your results and build them into forecasting models that reflect how your business operates.
Updating Forecasts As Conditions Change
Static annual budgets become outdated within months. By the time you realize projections are off, you've already made decisions based on inaccurate expectations.
Design rolling forecasts with built-in revision protocols. We'll show you how to establish meaningful variance thresholds and update projections systematically rather than reacting to every minor deviation.
