We started teaching annual budgeting because we kept seeing the same financial mistakes happen over and over again. After helping hundreds of businesses in Thailand get their finances straight, we decided to share what actually works.
Most budgeting courses throw spreadsheets at you and call it education. That never worked for us. We spent three years developing a system that mirrors how businesses actually operate in Southeast Asia.
Our approach came from watching small business owners struggle with Western budgeting methods that don't account for seasonal cash flow variations common in Thailand's economy.
Students work with real business cases from Bangkok markets, seasonal tourism fluctuations, and export-dependent manufacturers. No theoretical nonsense.
We teach budgeting that accounts for Thai business culture, family obligations, and the unique financial rhythms of Southeast Asian markets.
Start with single-product businesses, move to multi-stream revenue, then tackle complex supply chain scenarios with currency fluctuations.
These come straight from our inbox and classroom discussions. We organize them by where students typically are in their learning journey.
Every semester, we analyze the most interesting budgeting challenges our students bring to class. Here's what we discovered from recent cohorts.
Siriporn came to our September 2024 cohort with a traditional Thai restaurant in Silom that was bleeding money despite busy lunch crowds. Her initial budget assumed consistent daily revenue, but we discovered her cash flow followed office worker patterns.
Through our methodology, she learned to budget for weekday lunch peaks, weekend valleys, and holiday fluctuations. More importantly, she started tracking ingredient costs against daily specials to identify her most profitable dishes.
Six months later, she's opened a second location and teaches budgeting workshops for other restaurant owners in her network. The key insight? Her budget needed to reflect actual customer behavior, not idealized revenue assumptions.
Our next comprehensive program begins August 2025. We limit enrollment to 25 students to maintain the personal attention that makes our approach effective.
