Central Queensland Farmers Gain a Valuable Edge
Primary producers in Central Queensland are in for a treat this November as Rabobank-sponsored Financial Skills Workshops come to Rockhampton and Theodore.
These workshops are a fantastic opportunity to enhance financial literacy, network, and gain practical skills vital for managing agricultural enterprises. Best of all, they’re completely free!
A Community-Focused Initiative
The Rabo Client Council, a group of the bank’s farming clients dedicated to the sustainability of rural communities, is spearheading and funding this initiative.
These interactive workshops offer hands-on guidance, demystifying financial statements and banking requirements.
They delve into topics like taxation vs. management accounting, essential business management ratios, and understanding a business’s financial profile.
Learning from the Experts
Sally McGilvray, a Rabo Client Council member and beef producer, highlighted the significance of these workshops. “The workshops provide understanding and insights for running and managing the day-to-day aspects of agricultural enterprises from a business perspective,” she said.
In the face of a drier summer, this knowledge becomes even more critical for Central Queensland producers.
Tailored for Success
These workshops take an enterprise-focused approach, separately addressing beef and cropping enterprises. They consider the cash flow implications of various choices and focus on preparing annual cash flow budgets.
Attendees at previous workshops have praised the practical, valuable information they can apply directly to their businesses.
Unlocking Financial Opportunities
For primary producers, a deeper understanding of their enterprise is not just about better business management but also about making financing endeavours more successful.
When approaching financiers for additional funds or new ventures, this enhanced financial insight can be a game-changer.
Valuable Insights from Rabobank
Rabobank regional manager Brad James highlighted the underutilised power of financial reports for many agricultural enterprises.
These workshops aim to bridge this gap by offering targeted and comprehensive education led by Rabo Client Council members.
