In this session we’ll explore some best practices for farm financial management. Good financial management is key to the success of any business, and farming is no exception!
We’ll cover the types of financial records you should be keeping on the farm, how to collect and record the right information, and how to use this information to make decisions. Good financial record keeping is not only important for guiding farm operations, but is also often required in dealings with institutions such as the CRA, lenders, insurance companies, and WorkSafe BC. We’ll break down the difference between bookkeeping and accounting, and how to decide if you should hire a bookkeeper.
For this session, we’ll again be joined again by Chris Bodnar.
