Our Services
We know the best ways to drive your success — from managing your finances and assets to risk management, succession planning and more. Seeing you make a great life and living from your farm is our passion.
-
Stay on the right side of IRD while minimising tax stress. We handle:
GST, PAYE, FBT and provisional tax filing
Livestock valuation schemes (Herd, NSC, etc.)
ACC levy reviews and rebates
End‑of‑year financial statements
Why it matters: Clear, timely compliance frees up cash and headspace for the next season’s goals.
-
Ditch the paper trail. We migrate you to industry leading systems such as Xero and Figured to keep your data humming:
Real‑time bank feeds and coding rules
Mobile invoicing and debtor management
Payday filing and holiday‑pay accuracy
Staff self‑service portals—ideal for seasonal teams
Why it matters: Up‑to‑date numbers = better decisions at the farm gate.
-
Weather, prices and payouts shift fast. Our rolling 12‑ and 24‑month forecasts let you model “what‑ifs” for milk price drops, lamb schedule lifts or a new irrigation system.
Why it matters: Forward visibility helps you secure finance and sleep at night.
-
Turn big‑picture goals into on‑farm action—and make sure the action happens.
Goal‑setting frameworks that stick
Accountability check‑ins to keep plans on track
Regular review of your key numbers
Expert advice to support you in achieving your goals
Why it matters: When someone is watching the scoreboard, jobs get done, margins lift and stress drops.
-
We’re more than number‑crunchers—we’re your strategic advisors helping you with:
KPI dashboards and benchmarking against similar farms
Growth and diversification plans (e.g., horticulture, agri‑tourism)
Board‑level reporting for multi‑farm entities
Scenario modelling for capital projects
Why it matters: Strategic clarity turns opportunities into profit.
-
Handing the reins to the next generation can be emotional and complex. We facilitate family meetings, create fair asset‑transfer structures, and collaborate with your lawyer to protect relationships and wealth.
Why it matters: A written, agreed‑upon plan keeps both family and farm thriving.
