Your virtual farm office; where everything magically happens on time, every time.

Let us handle your farm bookkeeping and payroll, so you can focus on the joy of farming.

At The Farm Office, we know the daily demands of rural life. That's why we're here to help you with your farm bookkeeping and payroll. We're your virtual farm office, taking care of your accounts so you can focus on what you do best: farming.

We can help with: - Payroll and payday filing - Invoicing - Checking invoices - Bank reconciliation - GST returns - Cashflow budgeting - Progress reports - Fuel excise returns - RWT returns

Our team understands farming. We have a passion for the industry, and most of us have farming experience. We're here to relieve your stress and time pressure, so you can get back to the things you love. We love the variety and challenge our work brings, we love the story farm bookkeeping and payroll tells us about the farm and the client. We can see the results of your hard work coming through in the numbers.

Our clients include dairy farmers, sharemilkers, sheep, beef & deer stations, orchards, spraying contractors, with a wool buyer, a farm consultant and feijoa growers for diversity.

Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you.

Our mission is to bring the joy back to farming by taking care of the farm bookkeeping and payroll. Tasks that are not your passion or expertise, so you can concentrate on your passion: running your farm or your business.

When you need help, you decide what you want help with: we can load and pay your bills, create your invoices, do your coding and GST returns, your payroll, your annual cashflow budgets (and report against them to you and/or the bank), we do resident withholding tax returns, fuel excise tax returns, communicate with your accountant and even your banker. You decide which things you would rather have done for you and we will make it happen.

We will check in with you on a regular basis to see how your farm or business is going and how you are coping with the demands of your farm or business. We will remind you if something needs your input and it has slipped your mind and make sure we meet all filing deadlines.
