Our accountants are agribusiness specialists, some of them are practicing farmers or are from farming backgrounds and all have many years experience in dealing with farmers across Australia. They know the value and importance of diversification off farm. They understand farms are often multigenerational family businesses and that families work as a team not just for the present but also for the future.
Our accounting division has built specialist expertise in farm taxation, business structuring and investment. This means our accounting staff have greater in depth of knowledge of the business of farming than most accountants.
Because our accountants are interested in analysis not numbers we have developed a unique web-based budgeting, accounting and benchmarking software platform. This means data is only entered once on farm and all other analysis and reporting can be done from that software.
Access to the Country’s Brightest
The key point of difference is that PrincipleFocus accountants work within an integrated team of farm management consultants and financial planners located in the same office. They can therefore work synergistically with these other professionals to deliver the best solution to our clients. Our accountants have direct access to a team of agribusiness specialists every day of the week.
Tax and corporations law is a constantly changing and complex area. We have established agreements with some of Australia’s pre-eminent tax specialist so our team of accountants can have access to the very latest information.
We also have specialists in the area of succession and estate planning.
