It’s vital to understand the finances of your business, the causes of cash bleeding, and remedies for improving working capital.In this program -- one of the highest-rated corporate finance courses on Maven -- attendees will discover the various causes of cash flow constraints and how to address them, learn the step-by-step process for building a direct approach 13-week cash flow forecast model, and integrate it with a longer-term financial forecast.<ul><li>They didn't teach this in your MBA</li><li>They don't teach this at your company</li><li>They aren't teaching it in public training</li></ul>It's not just about Excel modeling. It's about critical thinking and strategic planning. That's why management consulting firms, turnaround/restructuring shops, Big 4 advisory, and Fractional CFOs engage Carl as their go-to facilitator for teaching these same techniques to their teams and clients.This program is geared toward professionals in corporate finance, private equity (PE), financial planning &amp; analysis (FP&amp;A), turnaround and restructuring, and distressed investing. Don’t wait for cash flow challenges to arise. The time to learn how to manage them is now.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://seidmanfinancial.com/book-a-call/">Contact: info@seidmanfinancial.com</a>

Nothing's more vital than knowing where cash is coming from & where it's going.

Enhance Excel modeling skills specific to cash flow forecasting

You should understand budgeting or forecasting basics. It ensures you're ready to apply real-world judgment, not just formulas.

Finance or FP&A Experience (2+ Years)

You’ll be building real models, so you'll need foundational (not expert) skills to follow along and focus on structure, not just syntax.

Comfort Working in Excel

You don't need to be an expert in accounting, but should recognize how income, cash flow, and balance sheets connect.

Probabilistic Forecasting Expert

Cohort 1

Probabilistic forecasting is hot — because point forecasts no longer suffice.Probabilistic forecasting has shifted from a niche topic to a critical professional skill. In planning, finance, energy, supply chains, and operations, decisions are not made on a single number — they are made under uncertainty, risk, and asymmetric costs.Yet most teams are unprepared. They can generate point forecasts, but struggle to produce uncertainty that is calibrated, interpretable, and defensible. Intervals are often wrong, metrics misaligned with decisions, and “uncertainty” collapses outside notebooks. When stakeholders ask, “Can we trust this?”, there is no clear answer.This course closes that gap.You’ll learn how to build decision-grade probabilistic forecasts: quantiles, predictive distributions, proper scoring rules, calibration diagnostics, and evaluation frameworks aligned with real business outcomes. This is not about hype or exotic models. It’s about mastering methods that work in production and hold up under scrutiny.Probabilistic forecasting is hot for a simple reason: real decisions are probabilistic — forecasts must be too.

From fragile point forecasts to decision-grade probabilistic forecasting

Build calibrated probabilistic forecasts instead of fragile point predictions.

Communicate uncertainty so stakeholders trust and use your forecasts.

Produce quantiles, intervals, and predictive distributions correctly.

Evaluate with proper scoring rules aligned to real business costs.

Diagnose and fix miscalibration before it breaks production.

Lead forecasting projects with authority and defensible uncertainty.

<h3>Senior DS/ML engineers who ship forecasts and need calibrated uncertainty, proper evaluation, and production-ready probabilistic outputs.</h3>

Forecasting &amp; planning leads who own business decisions and need uncertainty they can explain, defend, and align with costs and risk.

Executives/tech leaders who rely on forecasts and want mental models to challenge assumptions and steer strategy under uncertainty.
