Carmen Quade

Carmen Quade founded AgriFocused in 2019, realising that there was a need for business skills training for farm business owners and managers. Aware that many people were missing out on opportunities to attend face-to-face training due to work, farm and family responsibilities, she launched her first online course in 2021. AgriFocused now offers online training in farm budgeting, Excel and farm office management. Carmen has worked as a university lecturer in accounting and agribusiness and enjoys working with people to improve their business skills. She also has extensive experience in Local Government, both in economic and community development as well as corporate governance. Together with her husband and other family members, she is a partner in a mixed farming business at Tallimba, in the Northern Riverina. She holds a Bachelor of Business (Agricultural Commerce), a Master of Professional Accounting and a Cert IV in Training Small Groups. Carmen brings a relaxed atmosphere and a sense of humour to the workshops and seminars she presents and a lived understanding of the complexities and challenges involved in farm business.
