Budgeting Planning

This handles FP&A workflows like building annual budgets, running variance analysis, and setting up rolling forecasts. It walks you through bottom-up budget construction starting with revenue modeling, then COGS, department-level OpEx with individual headcount planning, and scenario analysis. The variance framework decomposes actuals vs. budget into volume, price, and mix effects with root cause analysis. Useful if you're building a budget deck for leadership or implementing a rolling forecast process. The philosophy leans practical: budgets are hypotheses, not constraints, and the real value is in understanding why numbers diverged. Includes templates for variance reports and a clear decomposition of when to use zero-based budgeting versus incremental approaches.
