Beyond the Rearview Mirror: Budgeting & Forecasting That Actually Work

October 8, 2026

}

12:00 pm

Webinar

Episode 4 of the Groundwork | Foundations of Accounting series

 

Most mid-market businesses don’t budget. Of those that do, most treat it as a once-a-year exercise that lives in a spreadsheet nobody opens again until December.

The result? Hiring decisions based on gut feeling. Equipment purchases based on the bank balance. Growth plans based on hope instead of data.

In this session, two of Rea’s specialists walk you through how to build a budget that reflects reality, create rolling forecasts that adapt as conditions change, and use simple frameworks to make smarter decisions about what’s next.

The Groundwork | Foundations of Accounting webinar series by Rea is designed to address the most pressing knowledge gaps facing mid-market business owners and their finance teams.

Stop looking in the rearview mirror. Start planning for what’s ahead.
