Business Forecasting Mastery Program
We're launching something different in July 2026. Not another theory-heavy course, but a practical program built from years of working with Australian businesses trying to make sense of their numbers.
Most forecasting training dumps Excel formulas on you and calls it a day. We start with why your predictions fail and work backwards from there.

What You'll Actually Learn
Six months of focused work. Each module builds on real forecasting challenges we've seen repeatedly in Australian small and medium businesses.
Understanding Your Business Patterns
Before building any model, you need to know what actually drives your revenue. We spend four weeks identifying the patterns hidden in your historical data.
- Revenue cycle analysis specific to Australian market conditions
- Seasonal patterns and how they shift year to year
- Finding the leading indicators that matter for your industry
- Common data quality issues and how to fix them
Building Forecasts That Hold Up
Theory meets practice here. You'll build three different forecast models using your own business data, then test them against reality.
- Time series methods that work for small datasets
- Regression approaches when you have multiple factors
- Scenario planning for uncertain market conditions
- Testing forecast accuracy and knowing when to adjust
Cash Flow Projection Methods
Revenue forecasts mean nothing if you run out of cash. This module connects your sales predictions to actual money movement.
- Lag analysis between sales and cash collection
- Working capital requirements that change with growth
- Stress testing your cash position under different scenarios
- Early warning signals for cash flow problems
Presenting Numbers That Drive Decisions
The final month focuses on communication. Your forecast needs to convince stakeholders and guide actual business decisions.
- Visualizing uncertainty without overwhelming your audience
- Building executive dashboards that get used
- Explaining assumptions clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- Creating forecast update processes that stay current
