Green Grass Farming is owned by Kate, Ryan, and Scott Anderson, they are 50/50 sharemilkers farming in Coastal Taranaki. The siblings established their business together in 2022, and since then, have worked with the Velocite Team to build and constantly improve their business and operating practices, and they have shared some of their experience working with Velocite.

We have quarterly meetings for our accounts, budgeting, and business plan performance reviews. We’ve gone through the strategic planning process which involved setting our business vision and developing future strategies to use. With the strategic planning – we recently brought all of our spouses/partners into that process which was really good for them to understand the financial position and strategy of the business – allowing them to hear the business point of view from someone other than us.

We, also, do all of our financial accounts through Velocite, including Xero, Figured, and Hubdoc training.  Velocite also helped us set up PaySauce which has been a life saver as payroll can be a nightmare. As we are a new business, we have had a lot of training sessions with Velocite to go through all of the new software required as well as learning the ongoing running of a business with the help of software.

We receive a lot of help with IRD, GST, Tax – all of the ‘fun’ requirements of owning a business.

Velocite have streamlined a lot of processes for us which has made it easier to run the business. Using the software Velocite has introduced has made our lives easier. It also allows our advisors to see what we can see, when we can see it – meaning that everyone is on the same page, they can see the data has been entered and it’s always up-to-date.

The support received is invaluable – if we need help with anything, we can really easily contact Paul, Clay, Nadine, or Stacey and always have a good team available to help us with any queries.

Professional Development, Supportive, Accessible 

From our personal experience, we have had nothing but good experiences with the team. It has always been a professional service, well supported, great software and people in place to help with software training 

Velocite is always super willing to help and go the extra mile, while putting the time aside in meetings to enable them to really get the best out of our business.

Through our training, they have given us a really good understanding of our business – not just providing us a set of accounts with no context or understanding provided and then walking away but actually providing insight, ensuring our understanding through speaking to us in layman’s terms and linking the numbers to the strategy.
