Helping agriculture & rural
businesses grow with confidence

I oversee the Rural Business and Landed Estates team for Monahans covering all of our offices. Being from a farming background myself I have first-hand experience of the issues facing both farmers, rural businesses and landed estates. A large part of my role is to help farms and rural clients with their tax and accounting needs. In the ever changing taxation and farming environment, this can be a very diverse task. Understanding the farming process is a great advantage during an audit, as work can be tailored to the rural environment, and ensures feedback is relevant and constructive for the client as part of the process. I also manage a portfolio of corporate non-rural businesses. This has helped me gather valuable expertise to help clients with diversification and development projects, which are becoming an increasingly important income stream for farms and estates. After a working in industry, I started at Monahans in 2000, working in general practice and audit before joining the Rural and Landed Business specialist team. I became a partner in 2018. I am a professional member of the CLA, NFU, and the ICAEW Farming and Rural Business Group. Outside of work, I am actively involved in the financial management of our own family farm and seed cleaning business. I am married to Liz who is a vet we have two children that keep us both busy. I am also a keen dinghy sailor when time allows.
