1 Specialist Accountants to the Agricultural Industry

2 Welcome from Mark Chatterton At Duncan & Toplis we believe that your business is our business and that if you succeed, we succeed. That philosophy is at the centre of everything we do. All our team members have close links with the farming community which gives us an insight into the various challenges as well as the solutions.

3 Working the land is rewarding, but it can also be a challenge with unpredictable weather, increased regulation and volatile commodity prices. We have over 80 years experience of working within the agricultural industry, which is why we are considered to be one of the leading agricultural accountants in the country. We have acted for several generations assisting them with advice on succession planning, diversification and asset protection. We are also able to provide personal finance and pension advice along with IT assistance through our sister companies, Castlegate Financial Management and Datcom. Our agricultural team have in-depth knowledge and personal experience of the farming industry and can provide the expert advice that is required to help you enhance the potential of your farming business.

4 We take more time talking about the future of your business than the past. We support you all year with tax planning that considers the life cycle of your crops, the depreciation of your machinery and the day-to-day business operations of farm management. Because we understand the inherent level of complexity of agribusiness tax situations, we have experience in interpreting and applying rules and knowledge that goes beyond simply filling out forms and getting the compliance work done. Our Director-led agriculture team is able to provide specialist advice on: Grants Forward planning Joint venture projects Diversification projects Contract farming Succession planning Liaising with banks Optimising trading structures Tax planning for all forms of business Stocktake valuation Outsourcing: we provide cost-effective VAT, payroll and book-keeping services for farming clients.

6 But don t take our word for it... For some years now, Duncan & Toplis have provided me with an accountancy service that is tailor-made for my own farm business. The accounts that they prepare and the advice they give combine to give me a clearer understanding of the interactions between its various parts. Their young and unstuffy team have provided many helpful insights, which have contributed to making us more effective; and by linking with Castlegate Financial Management Limited they have given long-term tax and pension planning, which has been invaluable. Being local, and nimble on their feet, they are remarkably cost-effective. Richard Casswell, Arable Farmer Lincolnshire The support and tax planning we receive from Duncan & Toplis has allowed our business to diversify and expand with confidence. Working together we have been able to put our business in a position of strength when the right opportunities come along. Mark Spencer, C H Spencer & Son Nottinghamshire
