AGRICULTURE AND RURAL BUSINESS

Welcome to the Deans Agriculture and Rural Business department. Working with farmers for over 125 years.

Do you need an accountant who knows their wheat from their barley or their combine from their power harrow?

Well you have come to the right place. We talk your language, know your opportunities and pressures. We are here to help.

YOUR REQUIREMENTS

I need help with accounts

and tax returns

Using our sector experience and knowledge our team work with you to help you. We will work with you to ensure compliance with deadlines and filing requirements - we also go further. We will make sure you benefit from available claims such as averaging, herd/flock elections, capital allowance claims, research and development claims and other planning opportunities.

I want to diversify

Over the last few years a significant proportion of our agricultural clients have diversified their operations. These have been a mix of diversifications into other agricultural sectors or into making use of space for renewables.

We recognise that one size does not fit all but our experience and wide client base enables us to talk to clients about what diversification options are available and how they may contribute to the overall farm profits.

I need to improve my results

and grow my business

Using our sector experience and knowledge our team work with you to help you do just that. We are not just accountants, we are also business advisers. Our partner led team will discuss your business affairs with you, we will benchmark your performance against other similar businesses and we will discuss opportunities with you to improve efficiencies or how to diversify.

succession planning advice for farmers Deans

I need an exit strategy or succession plan

It is never too early to consider future generations and how they will be brought into the business or how the farm is to be dealt with when you pass it on.

This is a topic we discuss regularly with clients so that we can work proactively to ensure your wishes are fulfilled with the minimum tax burden. Working alongside Deans Wealth Management we can cover all areas of consideration.

The answer is we deal with all businesses in the agricultural and rural business sector from smallholdings and craft businesses through to 1,000+ acre estates.

These are just some of the many types of businesses we work with.
