Carrick Aland are more than just accountants
Business advisory is a growing service as accountants increasingly prove themselves to be the preferred advisers for small businesses.
Carrick Aland has launched enhancements to our CAConnect services and have been recognised for our rethinking on bookkeeping, agribusiness advice and succession planning services.
Working with farm and business owners over the past 70 years has identified some clear patterns on what separates those who succeed from those who struggle.
Offering unique expertise is not enough. Having an experienced and confident workforce with runs on the board, meaning accountants who can look at a business or farm from multiple angles and devise solutions that enhance performance or increase value so the owners can walk away from a successful handover or exit.
There needs to be a genuine benefit business owners get from our advice. This is usually learned by observing our clients and crafting solutions that are meaningful to them.
Operating predominantly in regional settings, structured succession planning is now one of the firm’s key deliverables for multigenerational farming families.
Taking technology into the region’s farms and businesses has also become so ingrained that it’s taking Carrick Aland from strength to strength.
Farmers can become disheartened if their agricultural operations are not hitting goals. By using our expertise to help them reforecast and adjust accordingly, we can help provide a renewed sense of composure.
Our skills are channelled into making a positive difference. Without that, what’s the value of any advice?
