What if accounts were the easiest part of running your farm?

More time on the land, less time on the books

Imagine if you were able to unlock more than £10,000 worth of tax savings for your farm.

That was the happy news that we were recently able to deliver to Ben and Louise Corrie, who run a flock of more than 1,200 sheep on the outskirts of Folkestone, Kent. While Frogholt Farm has been in operation for nearly a century, the couple were finding it a struggle to keep on top of their accounts along with caring for their new baby and handling day-to-day operations.

On day one, we identified over £6,000 worth of farm tax savings.

In their first year with us, we saved Frogholt Farm a total of £13,000, a massive 650% Return On Investment.

That’s not all. Our straight-forward accounting solution included:

  • Halving VAT return preparation time
  • Ensuring all VAT returns were up-to-date
  • Introducing software for automated bookkeeping
  • Ensuring compliance across all business obligations
  • Registering the farm for Making Tax Digital (MTD), and
  • Completing accounts within four months of the year end.

Ben Corrie from Frogholt said they had been looking for an accounting firm that would provide them with better support and advice after being let down in the past: “We decided to give Swift a go and have never looked back; Adam is always quick with his responses and always able to answer our questions. We were amazed at how much he was able to save us in tax in just the first year – it has definitely made a substantial difference.”
