We Help Teams Actually Understand Their Numbers
Started in early 2023 after watching too many departments struggle with budget planning that just didn't work. We built training that makes financial coordination make sense.
Based in Rayong, working with organizations across Thailand who want their teams to handle budgets with confidence instead of confusion.
How This Started
Back in 2022, we kept seeing the same pattern. Finance would send out budget templates. Departments would fill them in wrong. Everyone would get frustrated. Repeat quarterly.
The problem wasn't that people were careless. They just hadn't learned how departmental budgets actually work—the timing, the dependencies, the coordination needed between teams.
So we started teaching it. Not abstract accounting theory, but the practical stuff department managers and coordinators need to know. How to build realistic budgets. How to track variance. How to explain numbers to stakeholders who aren't finance people.
By mid-2023, we had our first full cohort. Twenty participants from eight different companies. The feedback told us we were onto something useful.
What Matters to Us
Real-World Focus
We teach what actually works in busy departments, not textbook theories. Every module comes from situations we've dealt with firsthand—budget cycles that went wrong, coordination problems we've solved, mistakes we've made ourselves.
Practical Over Perfect
Budget planning doesn't need to be complicated. We break down complex processes into manageable steps that teams can start using immediately. Good enough today beats perfect next quarter.
Honest Teaching
We don't promise overnight transformation or guarantee specific results. Budget skills take time to develop. We're upfront about what participants can expect and what they'll need to practice on their own.
Who's Teaching This
Two people with years of department-level finance experience who got tired of watching the same budgeting mistakes happen over and over.
Kirsten Aalborg
Director of Financial Education
Spent fifteen years as a department head managing budgets in manufacturing. Got really good at explaining financial concepts to people who weren't finance people. Started this because she saw the same budget coordination problems at every company.
Annika Viitala
Senior Budget Strategy Consultant
Background in operational finance across distribution and logistics. Specialized in getting different departments to coordinate their budgets instead of just sending spreadsheets back and forth. Teaches the interdepartmental modules.
How We Teach This Stuff
Budget training that focuses on what department teams actually need to do, not what accounting textbooks say they should know.
Start With Your Actual Situation
Bring your current budget challenges. We work through real scenarios from your department—not made-up case studies. Most participants find this more useful than generic examples because they leave with solutions they can actually implement.
Learn With Your Colleagues
Our sessions typically have 12-15 participants from different organizations. You'll see how other departments handle similar budget challenges. Some of the best insights come from peer discussions, not from us.
Practice Between Sessions
We meet monthly over six months starting September 2025. Between sessions, you try techniques with your own budgets. Then we troubleshoot what worked and what didn't. This spacing helps concepts stick better than cramming everything into a week.
Want to Know More About Our Approach?
We run a couple of open information sessions each quarter where we explain how the training works and answer questions. Next ones are scheduled for August 2025. Or just reach out if you want to talk about your specific budget challenges.
