Budget Reporting That Actually Makes Sense
We teach finance professionals how to build reports people understand. Not just spreadsheets—real clarity that helps teams make decisions faster. Our autumn 2025 cohort starts September 15th.

How We Actually Teach This
Most budget training dumps theory on you. We break down real reporting scenarios from Taiwan companies—what worked, what flopped, and why.
Real Company Examples
You'll work with anonymized budgets from actual Taiwan businesses. See where variance reporting falls apart and how to fix it before stakeholders start asking questions.
Weekly Check-Ins
Submit your draft reports every Wednesday. Get direct feedback from instructors who've presented to CFOs and board members. No generic comments—specific edits that improve your work.
Build Your Portfolio
By program end, you'll have three polished reporting templates ready to use at your job. Plus recorded presentation practice so you can review your delivery style.
What Changed Our Approach
Back in 2023, we ran our first cohort using standard finance curriculum. Students learned the theory but struggled when they returned to their desks. Reports still took days to compile and executives kept requesting revisions.
So we rebuilt everything around a simple question: what stops finance teams from creating reports that actually get used?
- Templates designed for flexibility, not perfection
- Variance analysis frameworks that save 6+ hours per month
- Presentation techniques that reduce follow-up questions by half
- Excel shortcuts specifically for Taiwan reporting standards
Our 2024 graduates reported spending 40% less time on monthly reports. Not because they work faster—because they eliminated redundant steps and built better initial drafts.
What You'll Actually Build
Theory helps, but you need deliverables. These are the four report types our students create during the program—and continue using at their companies.
Monthly Variance Reports
The one everyone dreads. We show you how to automate 70% of the formatting, add meaningful commentary instead of just numbers, and highlight what actually matters to decision-makers.
Executive Dashboards
Single-page summaries that get read in under three minutes. You'll learn which metrics executives ignore and which ones trigger productive conversations about resource allocation.
Who Teaches This Program
Both instructors spent years building reporting systems for Taiwan companies. They know what actually gets used versus what sits in someone's downloads folder.
Siiri Lahtinen
