Budget Benchmarking That Actually Makes Sense
Most businesses guess where their money goes. We help you see the actual picture and compare it against real-world data from Australian companies in your sector. No fluff, just practical insights you can use.

What You'll Learn With Us
Practical skills for analyzing budgets, spotting gaps, and making smarter financial decisions based on industry standards.
Compare Smarter
Learn how to stack your spending against industry peers. You'll work with actual case studies from retail, manufacturing, and professional services to understand where you sit.
Spot the Gaps
We show you how to identify areas where your budget differs from similar businesses and whether that's a problem or an advantage. Sometimes spending more in one area saves money elsewhere.
Build Better Plans
Take what you learn and create realistic budgets that reflect both your business needs and market realities. You'll finish with templates and frameworks you can use right away.
Why Budget Benchmarking Matters More Than You Think
Here's something we've noticed over the years. Businesses often assume they're spending wisely because they stay within their planned budget. But that doesn't tell you if the budget itself makes sense.
When you compare your numbers against similar businesses, patterns emerge. Maybe your admin costs are half the industry average because you've automated well. Or perhaps you're paying twice as much for marketing without seeing proportional results.
- Understand where your money goes compared to others in your field
- Identify cost centers that might need attention or are performing well
- Make informed decisions backed by real market data, not guesswork
- Build confidence when discussing finances with stakeholders or investors
Our program runs over six months starting July 2026, giving you time to apply concepts as you learn them. Classes are designed for working professionals who can't drop everything to study full-time.
What Past Participants Say
Real feedback from people who completed the program and applied it to their businesses.
Freya Kirkland
Operations Manager, Melbourne
I was skeptical at first because I'd done a finance course before that was all theory. This one was different. We worked with actual numbers from our own businesses and compared them against industry data. Helped me identify that we were overspending on logistics by about 18% compared to similar operations.
Callum Breckenridge
Financial Controller, Sydney
The instructors know their stuff and explain concepts without making you feel lost. I appreciated that they didn't promise overnight transformations. Instead, they gave us tools to gradually improve how we analyze and plan budgets. Six months later, I'm still using the frameworks they taught us.
