Budget Deviation Analysis Webinars
Learn practical approaches to understanding where your money actually goes
Most Australian businesses find budget deviations confusing. We break down the patterns behind overspending and underspending in ways that actually make sense. Our webinars focus on real scenarios from retail, hospitality, and service businesses—not theoretical frameworks that sound impressive but don't help on Monday morning.

We're scheduling webinars for September through November 2025. Registration opens six months before each session to give you proper planning time.
Why Budget Variances Happen in Retail
Stock levels fluctuate. Sales predictions miss the mark. We'll walk through three Queensland retailers who faced massive budget deviations and what they learned from tracking patterns over eighteen months.
Seasonal Cash Flow Shifts
Tourism businesses know about seasonal swings, but hospitality venues often get caught off guard. This session covers actual deviation patterns from Bundaberg cafes and how they adjusted forecasting.
Fixed Costs That Aren't Actually Fixed
Rent stays the same, but utilities don't. Insurance premiums jump. Subscription services creep upward. We'll examine budget line items that surprise business owners and how to account for their drift.
Real Situations From Australian Businesses
Budget deviation isn't just about numbers being off. It's about understanding why projections don't match reality and what signals to watch for next time.
- Identifying spending patterns that repeat across quarters
- Recognizing when budget assumptions need updating
- Spotting early warning signs before deviations compound
- Adjusting forecasts based on actual operational data
- Communicating budget changes to stakeholders clearly
- Building buffer strategies for unpredictable expenses

She's worked through drought years, boom periods, and everything in between—which means she's seen how budgets hold up under actual pressure, not just ideal conditions.
