We skip the theory-heavy lectures. Instead, you'll work with actual budget scenarios, get feedback on your presentation style, and practice with people who've been exactly where you are now.
Both facilitators spent years in finance roles where they had to explain complicated budget situations to people who'd rather be anywhere else. They get it.
Callum worked in municipal finance for eight years before anyone told him he was actually good at explaining things. Now he helps others avoid the painful board meetings he sat through early in his career. His sessions focus on keeping presentations grounded when the urge to over-explain kicks in.
After years of presenting quarterly budgets to increasingly impatient executives, Nessa figured out what actually works. Her background in corporate finance taught her that confidence matters as much as accuracy. She'll help you handle pressure questions without losing your thread or your cool.
Here's what usually comes up during our info sessions. If your question isn't here, reach out – we're happy to chat.
We're kicking off the first week of September 2025. Sessions run Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, with some optional Saturday workshops if you want extra practice time. The whole thing wraps by late November before the holiday chaos hits.
Not at all. If you're already presenting budgets – even if you feel like you're stumbling through them – you're ready. We work with finance managers, department heads, project leads, and anyone else who needs to explain where money's going. You should understand your own budget, but we're not teaching accounting fundamentals here.
Life happens. We record everything, and you can catch up on your own schedule. That said, the real value comes from practicing with the group and getting live feedback, so try to make it when you can. People who show up consistently get more comfortable faster.
The autumn 2025 program runs entirely online, which seems to work better for most people's schedules anyway. We use a simple video platform – nothing fancy. You'll need a decent internet connection and a webcam, but that's about it. If you're local to Tweed Heads, we occasionally do in-person practice sessions at our office, but those are optional.
Depends what you mean by help. If you're looking for advanced financial modeling techniques, probably not. But if you sometimes freeze when executives start firing questions, or if your presentations tend to run too long, or if you want a second opinion on how you're framing difficult budget conversations – yeah, it might be useful. We've had senior finance folks join just to tighten up their delivery style.
