Support and advice to reduce the uncertainty by helping farmers to protect their assets and take care of their finances.

Farming and agriculture is a particularly challenging sector due to its exposure to so many unique factors. Success can be driven by government regulation and commodity prices – which fluctuate due to market forces and the weather.

It means as a farmer, your trade can at times depend on many issues that are outside of your control. The long and irregular working hours, particularly during busy seasons, means the need for regular financial information is crucial to keep you up to date as to where your business is at and its interactions with these external forces. 

You therefore need a robust financial system that maps any changes to the accounts, so that you can understand your costs and what needs to be achieved on a regular and timely basis.  At Wellers, our staff are trained on a variety of agricultural accounts packages and can also help you install the most suitable software for your needs, providing you with clarity and control of your financial affairs.
