About this event
“ A business without a path to profit isn’t a business. It’s a hobby .” ~ Jason Fried The technical side of farming matters — however the business behind it is what determines long-term success. Margins, cash flow, cost control and confident decision-making are what allow farms to grow, adapt to seasonal variability and remain resilient across generations. Yet many producers have never had formal training in the business side of agriculture. That’s exactly what our popular Business Fundamentals Workshop is designed to address. “ I work for Rabobank and I see a need to increase financial literacy in agricultural businesses and this is an excellent course to begin that journey. Key aspects that stood out to me were methods of transforming your financial information into a format to develop a business strategy. Also tools to assist with making informed business decisions and i dentifying key areas to focus efforts in your business to improve profitability. ” ~ Lachlan Campbell | Rabobank In 2026, you can choose the format that works best for you — in-person in Brisbane or online across 12 weeks . Both options will help you with: Understanding profitability beyond production Connecting the paddock numbers to meaningful financial analysis Breaking down financial statements in a practical way Simplifying the office and achieving more in less time Identifying key cost drivers and profit levers Strengthening cash flow and profit awareness Building clearer, numbers-backed decision-making processes Understanding management accounting, how essential it is and how it is vastly different do taxation accounting and finance.
