Why we specialize in agricultural bookkeeping
The principal of our company, Levi, grew up on a farm which sparked a love of the rural lifestyle and all that in entails.. He developed a passion for working on farm equipment and has spent many years doing so as a hobby. While working on building his custom hay operation, he realized there is a need for bookkeepers/administrative professionals that understand agriculture. There is no industry like it and it takes a special person to fill that roll. We share your passion for farming and our mission is to bridge the gap between the farm and the farm office. Let us be that link between you and your farm success.
Why not just use a "regular" bookkeeper?
As a business owner in the agricultural industry, I understand the unique financial challenges you face. That’s why I offer bookkeeping services specifically tailored to the needs of farmers and agricultural businesses. Here’s why choosing a bookkeeper who specializes in agriculture can make a world of difference for your operation:
​
1. Industry-Specific Knowledge: Agriculture isn’t just another industry—it has its own set of financial rules, regulations, and seasonal fluctuations. A specialized bookkeeper understands the nuances of crop cycles, livestock management, and the impact of weather on cash flow. We know how to account for subsidies, grants, and tax incentives specific to agriculture, ensuring that you maximize every financial opportunity.
​
2. Cash Flow Management: Managing cash flow in agriculture can be tricky. With harvests and sales happening at different times of the year, it’s crucial to have someone who understands these fluctuations and can help you plan for lean seasons. A specialized bookkeeper can help you track seasonal income, forecast expenses, and make informed decisions about your finances year-round.
​
3. Tax Optimization: Agriculture comes with its own set of tax breaks, deductions, and credits that can often be missed by a general bookkeeper. We know the ins and outs of farm tax laws, such as depreciation schedules for equipment, tax credits for conservation practices, and deductions for agricultural-related expenses. We ensure you’re not leaving money on the table when tax season rolls around.
​
4. Regulatory Compliance: The agricultural sector is heavily regulated, with specific rules surrounding everything from land use to environmental practices. A specialized bookkeeper stays updated on the latest compliance requirements in the industry, helping you avoid costly penalties and ensuring that your financial records are always in order for audits or inspections.
​
5. Customized Reporting: Every farm or agricultural business is different, and standard financial reports often don’t reflect the specific needs of your operation. Whether it’s tracking the profitability of different crops, managing equipment costs, or analyzing the performance of livestock, we can tailor reports that give you clear, actionable insights to help you grow your business.
​
6. Long-Term Business Planning: As your business grows, you need a financial partner who understands your long-term goals—whether that’s expanding your acreage, investing in new equipment, or navigating succession planning. A specialized agricultural bookkeeper helps you strategize for sustainable growth, not just short-term solutions.
In short, when you choose an agricultural bookkeeping firm like ours, you’re not just hiring someone to manage your books—you’re bringing on a trusted partner who understands the complexities of the farming industry and is dedicated to helping your business thrive. Let us handle the numbers so you can focus on what you do best: growing your business and your crops!
