Leyburn Accountant

Accountancy and Tax Services for Businesses and Farming Enterprises Across the Yorkshire Dales

Our Leyburn office serves businesses and individuals across the Yorkshire Dales, Wensleydale, Swaledale and Richmondshire — an area with a strong agricultural heritage and a wide range of rural and market town businesses. WDS has worked with farming and agricultural clients in North Yorkshire for generations. Our Leyburn team has deep practical knowledge of the financial realities of modern agriculture — including variable income, changing subsidy structures, capital investment planning, land transactions, and the long-term planning required for farm succession and estate management. Alongside our agricultural expertise, we support a wide range of other local businesses — including professional services firms, rural tourism and hospitality businesses, contractors and trades — with the full range of accountancy, tax and advisory services.

Agricultural and Farming Accountancy Services

Our Leyburn team provides specialist financial advice for farming and agricultural businesses across North Yorkshire, including:

  • Farm accounts preparation and management reporting
  • Specialist agricultural tax planning and profit averaging elections
  • Advice on Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR)
  • Inheritance tax planning for farms and rural estates
  • Farm succession planning and generational transfer
  • Cash flow forecasting for seasonal and variable income
  • Advice on SFI, Countryside Stewardship and other agri-environment schemes
  • Funding and restructuring support
  • Cloud accounting for farm businesses

We understand that farming businesses have very different financial rhythms and planning horizons to other businesses. Our advice reflects that.

Alongside agricultural expertise, we also support SMEs and family-run businesses across Leyburn and the surrounding areas with tax, payroll and advisory services.
