Do I have to be local to work with you?

No. We're based in Manassas, VA and serve farms and agricultural businesses across Northern Virginia and the DC area. Most of our work is done virtually using secure tools.

Do you understand farm-specific tax rules?

Yes. We work with the unique aspects of farm taxation including Schedule F, depreciation on equipment and buildings, Section 179 deductions, and the complexities of farm income averaging.

Can you handle both my farm business and personal taxes?

Yes. In most cases we prepare both the farm return and the owners' personal returns so everything is aligned and you get a complete picture.

What if my books are seasonal or behind?

That's common for farms. We'll review your situation and, if needed, quote a one-time cleanup project so your books are accurate going forward.

Can you help if I have multiple entities or land holdings?

Yes. We regularly work with farm operations that have separate entities for land, equipment, and operations—and make sure the tax and accounting treatment is coordinated.

Do you work with part-time or hobby farms?

Our focus is on working farms with real agricultural income. If farming is your business, we can help. If it's primarily a hobby, we may not be the right fit.

What about succession and estate planning for farms?

While we don't do legal estate planning, we work closely with attorneys and help farm families understand the tax implications of passing the farm to the next generation.

Who We Help

We work with farm and agricultural business owners who:

Working farms and agricultural operations

Vineyards, orchards, and specialty crop producers

Common Challenges We See

Most farm owners come to us dealing with:

Seasonal income fluctuations.

Revenue comes in chunks during harvest, but expenses happen year-round—making cash flow hard to manage.

Complex depreciation.

Equipment, buildings, and land improvements all depreciate differently, and it's easy to miss deductions or overpay taxes.

Mixed business and personal.

The farm, the land, the equipment, and the family's finances are often tangled together in ways that create confusion.

Succession uncertainty.

You're thinking about the next generation, but unsure how to structure things to minimize taxes and keep the farm intact.

Surprise tax bills.

A good year can create a big tax bill, and without planning, you're scrambling to pay it when it arrives.
