We take pride in representing diverse agricultural clients nationwide, including landed estates, farms and horticultural businesses. Our advisory services cover a wide spectrum of business matters, from trusts and tax planning to diversification and growth strategies.
The rural and agriculture sector is a specialist sector, with unique practices and conventions that make rural enterprises unlike other commercial enterprises.
The agricultural industry is distinct from other industries due to its reliance on the natural growth cycles of plants and animals. This dependency on living organisms and the unpredictability of nature introduce complexities in financial reporting and management that are not typically encountered in other sectors.
We therefore tailor our approach to each client to recognise your unique circumstances. This is why we always build up an in-depth knowledge of your business so that we can adapt our services accordingly and add value wherever possible.
We have a detailed understanding of the business structures under which rural and agriculture businesses operate in various corporate forms, whether that is a company, partnership, sole trader or a trust structure. We understand the practicalities of farming and are at home speaking with, advising and acting for our clients, moulding our approach to meet individual circumstances.

Our specialists provide comprehensive audit and advisory services that go beyond financial compliance to include insights into efficiency and effectiveness, helping charities to build trust with stakeholders.
The charity sector is special due to its focus on delivering social benefits, often operating under tight financial constraints and a high level of public scrutiny. Charities must navigate complex regulatory environments, manage diverse funding streams and maintain transparency and accountability to donors, beneficiaries, and regulators. This requires a specialized approach to financial management and reporting that is sensitive to the sector’s unique characteristics.
Our team ensures that your financial statements accurately reflect your charity’s activities and comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for charities. We assist charities in developing robust governance frameworks and risk management strategies to safeguard their assets and reputation.
