Our CEO Marie-Claire Andrews sat down with Sarah Perriam-Lampp on Country-Wide CONNECT to chat about the money many farmers are leaving on the table, and how to stop a potentially big tax bill catching you out 👀.

You can't control the weather but you can control your finances, and fuel excise refunds are the quick win. Farm Focus customers have clawed back over $600,000 so far, money sitting there unclaimed!

There's also a bigger conversation happening as livestock values rise and tax bills land bigger than planned. Farm Focus is helping farmers forecast, run the scenarios with their advisors, and stop it landing as a surprise.

Imagine getting $12,000 back in your pocket, simply by claiming fuel excise duty you're already owed.

That's what one Canterbury farmer recovered in a single year, thanks to our partnership with PR Claims, and you can benefit from this too. Together, we're helping farmers get more of their money back where it belongs.
