Financial Services - Manor Farms

Our client struggled with limited support, which led to inefficiencies in their financial processes, collaboration challenges, and difficulties managing the complexities of financial planning.

Sentry was tasked with providing comprehensive financial services, including budget preparation, cashflow monitoring, VAT compliance, and support to the bookkeeper, alongside additional ad hoc financial advice tailored to Manor Farms’ specific needs.

Sentry delivered tailored financial management services, including:

• Preparing and managing detailed budgets to guide financial planning
• Monitoring and forecasting cashflows to ensure liquidity and operational stability
• Assisting the bookkeeper to ensure accurate and compliant record-keeping
• Managing VAT compliance and reporting, ensuring that all reporting and submissions adhered to regulatory standards
• Offering scenario-based budgeting and strategic financial advice to facilitate strategic decision-making

With Sentry’s support, Manor Farms achieved clearer financial management, enabling better decision-making and long-term planning. This structured approach not only improved financial performance but also encouraged the next generation’s involvement, securing the business’s future continuity.

"I’ve been an associate member of Sentry for 14 years, and their support has been invaluable. The accountancy guidance, particularly from Rebecca Arkley, and their help with SFI and countryside stewardship grants, has been critical to the success of my two farming businesses."
