Our programs focus on hands-on budgeting techniques and real-world scenario analysis. Designed for professionals ready to strengthen their financial planning capabilities through structured learning and collaborative exercises.
Next cohorts begin October 2025 and February 2026
16 weeks · Evening sessions
You'll work through cash flow projections, variance analysis, and scenario planning using actual business data sets. Most participants spend about 6-8 hours per week on coursework and group projects.
Starts October 15, 2025 · Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-9 PM KST · Limited to 18 participants
12 weeks · Weekend intensive
We go deeper into statistical techniques and sensitivity analysis. This one assumes you've already got solid Excel skills and understand basic financial statements pretty well.
Starts February 8, 2026 · Saturdays 10 AM-2 PM KST · Prerequisites required
These programs aren't about memorizing formulas. We believe you learn financial planning by actually doing it—building models, spotting problems, fixing mistakes, and discussing your reasoning with others.
Each week brings a new scenario drawn from real companies. You'll prepare your analysis beforehand, then we discuss different approaches as a group. Sometimes there's no single right answer, which is kind of the point.
You'll swap work with classmates regularly. Looking at someone else's spreadsheet often reveals things about your own approach. Plus, explaining your logic to others helps solidify what you actually understand.
We start with straightforward monthly budgets, then gradually add layers—multiple departments, currency considerations, seasonal patterns. By week ten, you're handling scenarios that felt overwhelming at the beginning.
Instructors review your submitted work within 48 hours. Comments focus on methodology and reasoning rather than just checking if numbers match an answer key. Most people find this more useful than grades alone.
Lead Instructor, Forecasting Programs
Helena spent twelve years doing financial planning for mid-sized manufacturers before moving into education. She's particularly good at explaining why certain forecasting methods work better in different contexts.
Her background includes work with companies navigating rapid growth phases, which means she's seen plenty of budgets fall apart under real pressure. That experience shows up in the case studies.
She holds a PhD in Applied Economics from Yonsei University and still consults with a handful of clients between teaching sessions.
We review applications on a rolling basis starting six months before each cohort begins. The application asks about your current role, specific forecasting challenges you face, and what you hope to gain from the program. No formal prerequisites for the foundational course, but the advanced program requires demonstrated Excel proficiency.
