Master Multi-Year Budget Planning That Actually Works
Planning budgets across multiple years feels overwhelming. You're not alone. Our structured program walks you through forecasting, scenario modeling, and strategic adjustments—using real financial cases from businesses operating in Southeast Asian markets.

Teaching Approach Built on Real-World Experience
Practical Application Focus
Each session revolves around actual budget challenges. You'll work with anonymized financial data from manufacturing and service companies, learning how different industries approach long-term planning. We skip theory lectures in favor of hands-on problem solving.
Scenario-Based Learning
Most budget planning courses ignore market volatility. Ours doesn't. You'll model currency fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, and revenue shifts—situations that happen regularly in Thailand's business environment. Building flexible budgets matters more than perfect forecasts.
Individual Feedback Sessions
Group instruction only goes so far. Every participant gets three one-on-one reviews where we examine your specific budget models. Anuwat identifies weak assumptions, suggests alternative approaches, and helps you build frameworks that match your organization's complexity level.
Progressive Skill Development Over Six Months
Starting September 2025, we'll guide you through increasingly complex budget scenarios. Each phase builds on previous work, so by the end you're confidently handling multi-year projections.
Foundation: Single-Year Budget Mechanics
Before tackling multiple years, you need solid fundamentals. We start with revenue forecasting methods, expense categorization, and variance analysis. You'll reconstruct a complete annual budget from scratch using provided financial statements.
Expansion: Two-Year Rolling Budgets
Now things get interesting. You'll learn how to project Year 2 based on Year 1 assumptions, then adjust both years as new information emerges. We introduce rolling forecast techniques that let you update projections quarterly without rebuilding everything.
Advanced: Three-Year Strategic Plans
Strategic budgets require different thinking. You'll work with expansion scenarios, capital investment decisions, and sensitivity analysis. We examine how companies balance optimistic growth targets with conservative cash reserves.
Mastery: Custom Framework Development
Your final project involves creating a complete multi-year budget system for a fictional company facing realistic challenges. You'll present your framework to peers and defend your assumptions, just like you would to a board of directors or executive team.
Common Obstacles and How We Address Them
Budget planning trips people up in predictable ways. Here's what usually causes problems and our specific approach to each challenge.
Over-Optimistic Revenue Projections
Sales teams love ambitious targets. Finance teams need realistic numbers. The gap between these perspectives creates budgets that fail within months.
Our Solution
- Historical accuracy analysis comparing past projections to actual results
- Conservative baseline with separate stretch goal modeling
- Probability-weighted scenarios instead of single-point forecasts
- Monthly variance tracking to identify pattern deviations early
Ignoring Market Volatility
Fixed budgets assume stable conditions. But exchange rates shift, suppliers raise prices, and customer demand fluctuates. Plans need flexibility.
Our Solution
- Building three versions: pessimistic, realistic, and optimistic outcomes
- Identifying trigger points that signal which scenario is unfolding
- Pre-planned responses for each scenario to avoid panic decisions
- Quarterly review process that updates assumptions systematically
Disconnected Departmental Budgets
When departments plan independently, their assumptions conflict. Marketing expects higher sales that operations can't support. IT plans upgrades that finance didn't budget for.
Our Solution
- Cross-functional planning workshops where departments present simultaneously
- Dependency mapping that shows how one department's plan affects others
- Consolidated review sessions catching contradictory assumptions
- Shared KPI framework linking departmental goals to company objectives
Poor Stakeholder Communication
Technical accuracy doesn't matter if decision-makers don't understand your budget. Clear communication determines whether your plan gets approved and funded.
Our Solution
- Executive summary templates focusing on decisions rather than details
- Visual dashboard design showing trends and variances clearly
- Assumption documentation that non-finance people can follow
- Presentation practice sessions with feedback on clarity and persuasiveness
