Build Financial Skills That Actually Stick

We started teaching project budget management in 2022 because honestly, too many good projects were running out of money halfway through. Our courses focus on the practical stuff—tracking costs, forecasting accurately, and making budget calls that don't keep you up at night.

How We Got Here

From a Saturday morning workshop to comprehensive programs helping hundreds manage their project finances better.

March 2022

First Workshop in Reservoir

Started with 12 people in a community hall. We covered basic budgeting spreadsheets and how to stop losing receipts. Nothing fancy, but everyone actually showed up for week two.

August 2022

Added Real Case Studies

Partnered with local businesses who'd made budget mistakes and lived to tell about it. Turns out people learn way more from seeing actual spreadsheets with red numbers than theoretical examples.

February 2023

Launched 12-Week Intensive

Created our first structured program after students kept asking what comes after the basics. Covered forecasting, variance analysis, and how to have tough budget conversations with stakeholders.

November 2024

Opened Online Learning Track

Not everyone can make Tuesday evenings. Built video lessons with downloadable templates so people could work through scenarios at their own pace. Still requires the work though.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Advanced Certification Path

Planning a deeper dive into multi-project portfolio management and resource allocation. Because once you've nailed one budget, managing five gets complicated fast.

People Who Figured It Out

These folks came in struggling with different budget challenges. Some had never tracked expenses properly, others were managing multiple projects and drowning in numbers. Here's where they started and what changed.

From Shoebox Receipts to Clear Systems

Marion was literally keeping receipts in a shoebox. She'd estimate costs when asked, usually guessing low. After eight weeks learning structured tracking methods, she now knows her project costs within 3% accuracy. Still uses spreadsheets, just organized ones now.

Learning to See Money Problems Early

Theo's projects always went over budget in month three. Always. He learned to build realistic contingencies and track burn rate weekly instead of monthly. His current project is running 2% under budget, which honestly surprised him more than anyone.

What Students Actually Said

Neil Pemberton

Completed Intensive Program, March 2024

I was skeptical about spending twelve weeks on budgeting, but my projects kept bleeding money somewhere around week eight. The variance tracking lessons changed how I look at numbers. I still have budget problems sometimes, but now I see them coming instead of getting blindsided.

Online Track Graduate, September 2024

The case studies were the most valuable part. Seeing how other people messed up their budgets and then fixed them made me feel less alone in my confusion. I use the forecasting template every Monday morning now. It's become part of my routine, like checking email but more useful.
