AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

Agricultural business is not merely another sector we crunch numbers for, it is part of our very makeup.

Some of our team members come from farming families.  Specifically, our director, Niel du Plessis grew up on a diverse operational farm and is still involved in the running of various agricultural businesses.  If you combine this real-life farming experience with our sophisticated level of financial and accounting knowledge you have the perfect team to walk with you as your operation grows.

Legacy

We put great value in the fact that your agricultural business could be new or have a rich history.  Generations have been and will be involved in the years to come.  As a farming business you not only need to provide food for the world, but you need to put food on your own table.  We therefore become invested in your past, review your current situation, and help you to make plans and goals for the future generations to come. We believe it is vitally important that the interaction between the relevant elements of wealth, risk and taxation planning be constantly evaluated to ensure optimal structures and succession planning.

Adaptation

In agriculture you must be open to adapt and evolve with all the constant changes in methodology, technology, economy, competition, laws and taxes.  There are so many more elements that affect your business daily, like the weather, availability and cost of equipment and changes within your family.  We pride ourselves in being on top of the game to adapt your processes with your ever-changing business.

An agricultural business has unique needs, and we believe that Auro Professional has the necessary background and skills to understand and appreciate the business that you are in.

1. AURO PROFESSIONAL

We consider our firm to be so much more than your everyday accounting firm.

We pride ourselves with excellent service and continuity.  Our focus is on the co-ordination of the various elements of your wealth structures for optimal efficiency and maximum simplicity. We believe it is vitally important that the interaction between the relevant elements of wealth, risk and taxation planning be constantly evaluated to ensure optimal structures and succession planning.

The family wealth office is the one stop shop where the administrative, accounting, wealth, taxation and risk aspects of a family’s wealth and business affairs are managed collectively and holistically. This is achieved through interaction with existing service suppliers or the introduction of new service suppliers, but always coordinated with the family’s bigger wealth picture in mind.

But is this coordination necessary? Based upon my experience, it is a prerequisite! Consider the following pitfalls that are regularly encountered:

  • Accounting records are haphazard and unclear
  • Minutes of meetings are not kept or do not express the decisions that are taken and implemented
  • Wills are not signed correctly and are not accessible when needed or are contradictory to the testators wishes
  • Insufficient (or sometimes excessive) insurance cover for critical events
  • Non-compliance with Companies Act, Trust Property Control Act, Income Tax Act and other legislation
  • Inefficient tax planning and misalignment between the different elements of tax. Here the low levels of planning surrounding balance sheet tax is especially prevalent.
  • Poor communication between family members and no common goal alignment
  • Insufficient or lack of succession planning

A family’s wealth is just like a business, and needs to be managed as such. That being said, many businesses only perform as well as they are managed, this is where the opportunity and value contribution lies!

Our family wealth office specialises in the effective management and holistic coordination of family wealth. We work in conjunction with your existing service providers or manage the various elements of the family office internally based upon the specific circumstances of the client.
