You may be just starting out, taking on the family enterprise, or looking to enjoy a comfortable retirement. If so we can help you every step of the way.

We offer a wide range of services that can benefit your business. From day to day bookkeeping and advice which free up your time and resources so that you can concentrate on building your business; to more complex services, such as audit, tax planning and sourcing finance for acquisitions such as land or machinery.

We can advise you on the setting up of trusts, partnerships, joint ventures, and inheritance tax.

We recognise that in the agricultural sector business and private lives are closely linked, so we’ll also help you to manage your personal finances too.

Our Partner in charge of our Agriculture Section is Richard Chapple.

Says Richard, “Farming is going through some fundamental changes, with Common Agricultural Policies reform as well as diversification into new technologies such as wind, solar and biomass power.

“While these new technologies offer additional sources of income, care needs to be taken as how this is integrated within the traditional farming methods as not to put at risk valuable reliefs such as APR (Agricultural Property Relief).

“Good tax planning before making the decision to go ahead with green technology could make the difference between a tax rate of 0% and 40%.”
