Accounting and advisory built around the farm calendar.

We work with WA family farms through succession, tax timing, structuring and the long-game decisions that shape the next generation.

Book a farm visit

Byfields has been working alongside WA farming families for nearly 70 years.

As Agribusiness Accountant specialists, we understand farming goes far beyond tax returns. Tax planning starts before seeding, harvest can change everything, and succession conversations often take years, not weeks.

Farming is different to most industries. Seasons shift, markets move quickly, and no two family businesses are the same. That’s why we work closely with clients year-round, helping them navigate tax planning, structures, succession and long-term business decisions with advice grounded in real agricultural experience.

Byfields has been advising WA farming families for nearly 70 years. We've worked through three commodity cycles, the rise of corporate ag, three generations of succession transfers, and the ATO's evolving stance on farm structures. We bring that history to every farm gate we drive through.

Scenario modelling for commodity volatility, finance applications and capital expenditure decisions.
Self-managed super for farming families, including LRBA and farm-property considerations.
Estate plans that work alongside your succession plan, not against it.

How we work

On-farm visits

We’ll come for a kitchen table meeting, not just sit across a boardroom table. Some of the best conversations happen on-farm, where we can properly understand our clients, their business and decisions behind the numbers.

Advice beyond compliance

We look at the bigger picture, not just the tax return. From business structures and succession planning through to wills, long-term growth and risk management, we work to make sure businesses are set up properly for where they’re heading, not just where they are now.

Year-round support

We work alongside clients throughout the year, not just at tax time. That means conversations before seeding, during harvest, through expansion, succession and the unexpected seasons in between.

Genuine conversations

We believe advice should actually make sense to the people making the decisions. We explain structures, tax and planning in a way the whole family can understand and feel confident about.

Director involvement from day one

Senior people stay involved throughout the relationship. Our clients deal directly with experienced advisers who understand agriculture, perth & regional business and the realities of running large-scale operations in WA.

People who
understand the industry

Many of our team come from farming backgrounds themselves, which helps build genuine connection with clients. We enjoy working with good operators, innovative businesses and families who care deeply about what they’re building for the next generation.
