Agribusiness
Farming is our business too.
Agribusiness and farm accounting require special insight into tax methods and changing legislation, along with expertise in a variety of services, such as succession planning, operations and cash flow, farm financing, tax benefits unique to farmers, farm transportation, and farm technology. Our CPAs have direct knowledge of what it takes to run a farm; in fact, they have lived, owned, and worked on family farms in rural Ohio.
