FINPACK News – December Digest

by | Dec 21, 2023

Thanks to everyone who attended the FINPACK Lenders Conference last week in Bloomington, MN! A special word of thanks to our terrific lineup of speakers — Blaine Nelson, Hunt Shipman, Eric Guttormson, Dave Kohl, and of course everyone on the FINPACK team who offered their insights and updates. It was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces and make so many new connections!

Our four-part series offering a step-by-step guide to approaching credit analysis in FINPACK is now available in full on FINPACK News, looking at Data Sources and analysis preparation, Financial Analysis tools, Projections, and Credit Analysis.

It’s that time of year again, when you’re going to need information from your producers and ranchers as you work on getting those operating loans sorted out and annual reviews completed. FINPACK offers a number of tools to help in gathering that data, including data-input worksheets, and a software solution.

Learn more about The 2023 FINPACK update, including a new way to designate organic crops, a new commercial cash flow projection component, incorporates new Financial Standards Measures and RMA data, and more!

The FINPACK offices will be closed Friday, December 22nd, Monday, December 25th, Tuesday, December 26th & Monday, January 1st. We wish all of our partners, customers, and staff a safe and peaceful holiday season.
