Sarah Chen brings fifteen years of corporate finance experience, including budget restructuring for three ASX-listed companies. She developed our curriculum after seeing too many businesses struggle with traditional budgeting methods that don't reflect actual operations.
Her approach focuses on connecting budget line items to specific business activities. You'll work with real company data and learn techniques currently used by major Australian corporations. The coursework includes hands-on exercises with actual budgeting software and templates.
Activity Mapping
Break down business processes into measurable activities. Learn to identify cost drivers and resource consumption patterns that traditional budgeting misses.
Cost Driver Analysis
Discover what actually drives costs in your organization. Move beyond simple percentage allocations to understand true resource requirements.
Performance Integration
Connect budgets directly to performance metrics. Build budgets that support strategic goals rather than just historical spending patterns.
Why Activity-Based Budgeting Works Better

- Design activity hierarchies and cost allocation models
- Build dynamic budgets that respond to business volume changes
- Create reporting frameworks that support management decisions
- Implement budget variance analysis using activity metrics
- Develop budget presentations for executive leadership
The program completely changed how I approach budgeting at our manufacturing company. We can now see exactly which production activities drive costs and make informed decisions about resource allocation. The techniques work especially well for businesses with complex operations.
