Nietzke & Faupel, P.C. has developed unique services tailored to meet the specific needs of agricultural producers. To run an effective agricultural operation today takes a team.  Among today’s agricultural teams finance institutions, employees, insurance agents, and estate planners, equipment suppliers, and more.  Of course, your Certified Public Accountant is also a critical part of that team.

Your CPA can help you maintain a quality accounting and bookkeeping system. Having the right numbers is critical to managing any business. However the majority of farms today still use Cash Basis accounting systems, which are not adequate in today’s agriculture environment. We highly recommend our Accrual Basis Financial Statement Services.   These specialized statements provide key ratios like; Return on Equity, Current Ratio, Debt/Acre, and Net Worth/Acre, as well as a true look at your operation.

Good accounting, however, is not simply a good set of books and the right numbers.  You also need to be able to interpret those reports and take steps that are appropriate.  Our accountants will work with you in a proactive way and help you identify problems that need to be corrected. We also review your statements for opportunities to increase the value of your operation.

Our firm goes a step beyond – we enjoy visiting the farms we work with.  Meeting members of your team, seeing your equipment and your operations first hand, helps us understand your business. 

Nietzke & Faupel, P.C. offers help in interpreting your reports and analyzing your business.  We offer forecasting, business plans, succession planning, estate planning, and more.
