About this listen
If you’ve ever built a budget in January… only to feel like it completely falls apart by March, this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how CFOs actually build annual budgets that are realistic, flexible, and designed to support growth (without making you feel stressed or restricted). We’re talking about what most founders get wrong when budgeting, and the exact steps to build a plan that works month by month — not just on paper.
You’ll learn how to:
Forecast revenue based on capacity (not wishful thinking)
Separate fixed costs from flexible spending so you stay in control
Build a monthly cash flow calendar you can actually use
Run a “reality check,” so your plan doesn’t depend on fantasy-level numbers
By the end, you’ll have a clear “money map” for 2026 that helps you make smarter decisions, stay confident through slower months, and grow without burning out.
