About Domain
Who we are
and what we
teach
Domain is a Vancouver-based platform offering structured online seminars on financial forecasting and budgeting — built for people who want depth, not shortcuts.
Where this came from
Domain started in 2025 from a straightforward observation: most online courses on financial topics spend too much time on theory and too little on how numbers actually behave in real planning cycles. Variance analysis, rolling forecasts, driver-based models — these are learnable, but only with structured time and honest worked examples.
The seminars are designed around a single recurring question that participants bring: how do I produce a budget that holds up when business conditions shift? Each session covers one part of that answer in detail — from revenue assumptions and cost drivers to scenario modelling in spreadsheets — with time set aside for discussion rather than passive listening.
Participants join remotely from across Canada, which shapes how content is structured. Schedules are compact by design. Materials stay available for review after live sessions. The format respects that most attendees are balancing learning alongside work, and builds in enough space to actually process what they are studying.
The people behind it
Small team, specific focus. The instructors who run sessions at Domain have worked in financial planning roles before moving into education — which is why the content stays grounded in what planning actually requires.
Edvard Kruuse
Lead Instructor — ForecastingEdvard spent nine years building rolling forecasts and variance models for mid-size manufacturers before shifting to education. He leads the forecasting modules and tends to slow down on the parts people usually skip.
Mirelle Fontaine
Instructor — Budgeting MethodsMirelle has a background in public sector finance and has since worked with several BC-based businesses on restructuring their annual planning cycles. Her sessions focus on budget construction and the logic behind assumption-setting.
How sessions are structured
Worked examples over slides
Sessions use live spreadsheet walkthroughs rather than static decks. Participants see the model being built, not just the finished version.
Discussion periods built in
Each module ends with structured Q&A. Questions from one participant often surface assumptions that others haven't tested in their own work.
Recordings available for six months
Live attendance matters, but going back to a specific segment later often produces more clarity. All recordings are accessible for six months post-session.
Designed for home study
Sessions run online with participants joining from their own environment. Technical requirements are minimal — a stable connection and a spreadsheet application.
