The advantages of Byfields include

  1. a commitment to assist you with you the “bigger picture” issues in your business, such as business structures, succession plans, wills, and life insurance. The basis of this is our unique 6 point business review
  2. a pre 30 June tax estimate, where we process your records from 1st July to date, include estimates of income and expenses to come from budgets and other sources, and thereby calculate expected profits for the year. From that profit we can estimate likely tax payable and discuss tax saving strategies to be implemented prior to 30th June each year.
  3. an in-depth knowledge of farm businesses, as most of our senior staff have farming backgrounds and the majority of our clients are in the farming industry
  4. a team approach to your work, so that if the contact person on your file is unavailable due to holidays or for any other reason, somebody else is able to assist you on a timely basis
  5. a comprehensive knowledge of the Agrimaster, Phoenix and Cashflow Manager computer programs. Our Agrimaster knowledge is backed up by the provision of our own user guide.
  6. a guarantee that if you your telephone call cannot be taken immediately, it will be returned within 24 hours (although it is normally within two hours, or at a time that is suitable to you)
  7. a guarantee that your financial statements and income tax returns will be completed before January 31 each year. In fact, if we receive your information by the end of August, your work will be completed prior to harvest.
  8. an in-house financial planning team, enabling your wealth creation goals to be met along with any tax reduction aims
