WELCOME TO FINANCIAL SKILLS

The Financial Skills workshops are supported by the Rabo Community Fund to help develop long-term industry capacity and provide agricultural education whilst attracting and retaining the next generation in the industry.

These workshops are offered in two content formats: Measuring Financial Performance, and Gross Margin Analysis & Cash Flow Budgeting. Both of these workshops are standalone so there is no pre-requirement to complete one before the other.

Attendees have the opportunity to interact in a face-to-face or virtual learning environment with facilitator Tony Hudson (Director, Hudson Facilitation). This complimentary workshop is available for all farmers and is supported by the Rabo Community Fund to help develop long-term industry capacity and provide agricultural education. 

MEASURING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP

Farm financials are one of the most useful and least used reports for many farming businesses. Through this workshop, you will gain an understanding of how to read and interpret this report and what it can tell you about your business. Your bank is a key stakeholder in your business. This workshop will explore how bank's assess you and your business along with sharing a number of tips to help make this important relationship as beneficial as possible.  

GROSS MARGIN ANALYSIS AND CASH FLOW BUDGETING WORKSHOP

Gross margin analysis is a critical step in farm planning and decision making. In this workshop, we take an enterprise focused approach. We will consider both cash flow implications of a variety of enterprise choices and will also focus on preparing annual cash flow budgets.

Any financial or tax related information provided in these workshops is general in nature and does not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. We recommend that you seek independent advice from your accountant or financial advisor before making any financial decisions.

DELIVERY METHODS

Face-to-Face Workshops: workshops facilitated in regional and remote areas across Australia.

Virtual Workshops: workshops facilitated virtually (via Microsoft Teams) across Australia. The virtual workshops are open to participants located in Australia only.
