Agriculture and Horticulture

Agriculture and Horticulture are not just business choices, they are lifestyle choices.

Farming and HorticultureOur agricultural team doesn't just know accountancy, they know the farming business. We specialise in owner managed businesses (we are one!) and we thrive on the success of our clients. Martin Godsmark and Eileen Goff specialise in this sector and have considerable experience in servicing clients in the sector. Indeed, Martin has direct family experience of the business.

We are very familiar with the seasonality and consequent financing implications. We can help with:

  • Raising finance: dealing with the agricultural banking institutions, providing budgets and cash flow forecasts, negotiating facilities and appropriate funding structures
  • Succession issues: advice on running the family business and partnership matters through the generations.
  • Property and land transaction planning: guidance on the purchase, sale and development of property and land.
  • Tax planning: all decisions have tax implications - we can advise on the most tax effective route to take.
  • New ventures and diversification: what are the tax implications of diversification? What are the pros and cons of entering a new market? What is the optimum trading structure? Come to us for unbiased advice.
  • Tax legislation: We monitor and advise you of changing legislation and regulations and the impact on your business.
  • Outsourcing: we provide cost-effective VAT, payroll and book-keeping services for farming clients.

Our role is to support you to achieve your personal and business goals, to provide and retain wealth for you and your family.
