Farming + Agriculture Accounting

The business of agriculture

Our knowledge of the entire agribusiness supply chain, from grower to retailer, allows us to identify areas where we can increase efficiency and deliver solutions to help your business thrive.

We go beyond financial statements and tax returns.

We work closely with our clients and with those in the industry, bringing ideas and evaluating opportunities. We share best practices stemming from our involvement in the agribusiness industry, including accounting procedures, tax strategies, investment opportunities, staffing needs, and ways to bring people and companies together.

Accurate financial reporting prepared by analyzing accounts receivable and accounts payable information provides useful guidance for your business. We design our farm accounting, audit, tax, and consulting services to provide your business standardized information that is easy to review and is available electronically.

Benchmarking your business strength against your competitors in the global economy is a valuable resource. We perform analysis of variations and help you evaluate key financial ratios so you can seek ways to improve the way your business runs.

We stay up to date with the most recent proclamations from the Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to watch over concerns and challenges that your business may have.

2019 Agribusiness Industry Survey

The fourth annual Agribusiness Industry Survey provides farmers in the Pacific Northwest the ability to benchmark wages, land rents, and employee benefits. The survey focuses on the areas that are most important to the community as communicated to us by our clients and industry partners. Empowered with competitive information, farm owners and managers can make more informed decisions.
