A collaborative approach

By building long-term, trusted relationships, we get to know you, your business, your aims, and the unique challenges you face.

And our network of relationships with other key advisers within the agricultural sector – such as land agents, business consultants, lenders and solicitors – means we offer a collaborative, joined-up approach.

Allowing us to provide practical, tailored advice that works for you – so that you can plan with confidence, optimise your operations, and make the most of modern farming opportunities.

Experience on and off the farm

We place a strong emphasis on the importance of both technical and practical knowledge within the agricultural sector. Firmly believing that hands-on experience is vital to equip our team with the expertise needed to provide advice.

That’s why we take the opportunity to regularly visit local farms and fully immerse ourselves in the daily operations of agriculture, gaining insights into the diverse activities associated with it.

“We have been engaged with Scrutton Bland for 4 years. We cannot praise the agricultural team enough. Not only do they provide the legal side of accounting, their industry knowledge and contacts has led to huge growth in understanding and managing large challenges we have faced. The move to Xero accountancy software has improved our in-house record keeping efficiency as well as many useful tools we use to work with Scrutton Bland to make informed decisions. The move to Xero was straightforward with great support from Scrutton Bland. We wouldn’t go back now!”

George Halsall,
Director,, E Halsall & Sons Ltd

“Xero has taken worry away. When we started the business, there was an awful lot of compliance-related time. Since moving to Xero we have more value-added discussions because the basics are covered – we’re talking strategically and are less focused on the routine day-to-day stuff.”
