Core Budget Methods We Cover

Each method serves different business situations. You'll learn when to use each one and how to adapt them for your specific challenges.

Zero-Based Budgeting

Start fresh each cycle. Every expense gets justified from zero rather than just adding to last year's numbers. Works well for businesses wanting to eliminate budget bloat and question established spending patterns.

Value-Based Allocation

Direct money toward activities that create the most business value. We'll show you how to measure real impact and shift resources away from low-return areas that look important but don't move the needle.

Rolling Forecast Method

Adapt your budget throughout the year instead of being stuck with January's assumptions. Particularly useful for businesses in changing markets or seasonal industries common across Canada.

Real Progress from Past Participants

Here's what happened when someone applied these methods to their actual business challenges.

Kellan Whitmore

Operations Manager

"I came in thinking our budget problems were just about not having enough money. Turns out we had plenty — it was just scattered across too many small initiatives that weren't connected to our main goals."

Challenge: Manufacturing company struggling with cost overruns and unclear spending priorities

Method Applied: Value-based allocation combined with zero-based review of discretionary spending

Timeline: Implemented changes over 6 months following our fall 2024 program

Result: Consolidated 12 small projects into 4 focused initiatives, freed up resources for equipment upgrades that had been "someday" items
