Farm Financial Foundations for Success

Kim Deans developed the Farm Financial Foundations program after working with many farm business owners who lacked confidence in their financial skills, sometimes even after investing considerable time and money in completing expensive farm financial training courses.  If you can relate, rest assured, there is nothing wrong with you!  Where the rubber hits the road with financial skills is in moving the tools.  We don’t learn to drive in a parked car! The way to grow your confidence in your financial management skills and work through any confusion you feel is to use financial management tools.  The more you use these tools the more confident you will get. 

This educational program guides you through the process of learning and applying the essential financial skills in a logical order so that you will have the resources you need to navigate the financial aspects of your business for success.  The program has been designed so that you will learn by doing and applying the skills immediately in your own business context with a supportive learning guide in Kim walking you through the process step by step. We start with the simple most basic tools and build up from there. 

Kim’s reinvention toolkit includes a strong foundation of practical farm business management skills honed through working with hundreds of farming businesses for 12 years as a Rural Financial Counsellor in Inverell NSW.  This experience developed Kim’s skills in making the overwhelming aspects of farm financial literacy simple and practical. Kim has been delivering the Farm Financial Foundations program to farmers individually and in groups since 2021. Read more about Kim Deans here
