Key insights from the Tasmanian Farmers & Graziers Conference 2016
I’ve always enjoyed visiting Tasmania – especially Launceston – and recently, I travelled there for theTasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association(TFGA) conference held on the 7th and 8th of July.
Here are a few takeaways from my first TFGA Conference:
Introducing John Gibson, our new Senior Relationship Manager for the South Island
As our partner network continues to grow, we’re pleased to be welcoming John Gibson to our team to work alongside Neil Landers in supporting accounting practices in their partnership with Figured. John will be based in Christchurch and will be managing the relationships with all our South Island-based partners, and Neil will continue as Senior Relationship Manager for our North Island partners.
Australian rural accountants race to Figured Fast Track Partner Program
The Figured Fast Track Partner Program launched into Australia in May. We’ve already seen a quick uptake, with increasing numbers of rural accounting practices across the country keen to raise their Partner status on the newly introduced three-tier qualification system.
Revamped Signup Process
Farmers and Accountants can now immediately connect with one another when bringing a farm onto Figured, meaning farm setup is quicker and more accurate. It's all about putting your best foot forward. But what if you're a farmer and your accountant isn't on Figured yet? No problem – we'll contact them on your behalf.
Fieldays 2016 - a focus on moving forward
Mystery Creek Fieldays 2016 was, as expected, a huge event. Over 130,000 visitors came through the gates over the four days, meaning this year’s event was one of the biggest on record.
For Figured, our third year of Fieldays was an incredible opportunity to connect with new and existing users, to demonstrate recent product innovations, and to reinforce our position as a leading-edge agri financial management tool through our strong on-site presence.
Lifting the performance of farming together
It can be said that nothing truly great was ever achieved alone. Throughout history, every successful person or enterprise has achieved greatness with the backing of a team who each shares their knowledge and ideas to achieve an objective.
That’s the definition of collaboration and there’s no place it could be more beneficial right now than within farming businesses.
