Ocean Fresh Oysters: Bringing the Best of Coffin Bay to Your Table
From the pristine waters of Coffin Bay to your plate, Ocean Fresh Oysters delivers premium quality oysters for homes and businesses alike. This thriving business, led by owner Cara Pierce, is not just about fresh seafood; it's about family, community, and passion. “We bring fresh quality Coffin Bay Oysters into your home and business for all to enjoy. From our family to yours,” Cara says, sharing the heartfelt mission behind her brand.
The Heart Behind Ocean Fresh Oysters
Cara Pierce’s inspiration for starting Ocean Fresh Oysters came from a deep-rooted desire to create something her entire family could be a part of. "Family," she emphasises, was the driving force behind her business. What began as a family endeavour soon grew into a commitment to bringing the finest oysters to her customers, allowing them to experience the same love for fresh seafood that she and her family share.
Gaining New Skills with Women in Business Foundations Program
As the business expanded, Cara recognized a need for more knowledge, particularly in business and accounting. This realization prompted her to join the Women in Business Foundations Program. Through her experience in the program, Cara gained invaluable insights into managing her business finances, which had been a major challenge. “I felt time-poor and didn’t have the knowledge for a lot of accounting jobs I needed,” Cara admits.
But the program changed that. Cara learned crucial accounting skills and how to utilize Hubdoc, an app that automates the collection and organization of business receipts and invoices. "I've learned a lot about accounting and Hubdoc that I needed to know," she explains.
Enhanced Operations and Measurable Impact
The results have been transformative. Before participating in the program, Cara outsourced much of her accounting work. Now, equipped with new skills, she handles those tasks herself, saving both time and money. The program has not only streamlined her accounting processes but has given her the confidence to manage these aspects independently. “It’s really helped me with my accounting and taught me new things I didn’t know before,” Cara shares. Most importantly, the program has freed up valuable time that she can now dedicate to growing her business.
Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
For other entrepreneurs considering the Women in Business Foundations Program, Cara has one piece of advice: "It’s definitely worth doing. Whether it’s learning something new or refreshing your skills from before." The program offers not only practical knowledge but also the opportunity to refine existing skills—an essential boost for any business owner.
