‘I’ve worked in business management for many years and understand the importance of decreasing costs and increasing revenue. I work with people to identify opportunities to improve their financial position.’
Leanne Jardine was born and bred on the Monaro and after years of working in the corporate world, mostly in Canberra, Leanne moved back to Nimmitabel and a farming life. As counsellor for the Monaro and South Coast, Leanne, considers her role with the Rural Financial Counselling Service as a ‘dream job’. She said it was great being able to work with families across all of the local rural industries – from wool and meat livestock to dairy and even oyster farming – and to get to know them along the way.
After a career in business and management (most recently she worked as a business development manager for Dow Jones) she loves working closer to home and being part of the community.
Her role at the RFCS includes helping people identify a clear business direction, looking at their budgeting and financial statements and investigating opportunities to improve their bottom line. She also helps farmers to connect with funding options they may not be aware of such as natural disaster loans or conservation-based initiatives course a major focus in the region has been providing assistance for exceptional circumstances.
Leanne believes it’s important for farmers not to become complacent – they should always be looking for a better deal on prices for their products, the services they use and in particular when it comes to their banking and finance arrangements.
You can meet with Leanne in either her Cooma or Cobargo office or she can come and visit you on farm.
