"For the past twelve years we have had Renier as our accountant. He and his team have worked beside us in a positive, respectful and professional manner, and have always had our best interests at heart. It was important for us and our business to have someone who would 'work for us' and give advice that would assist and further our professional development and business.
Venter & Hull has been an integral part of our farm's growth. We feel strongly that successful businesses must integrate a solid working relationship with their accountants, business advisors and legal advisors to complement their knowledge of the actual business.
We meet monthly to review the key performance indicators of the farms. We prepare accounts every two months and it is monitored to the strict budget that is set. These reports form an integral part of the future funding arrangements of the business. A recent restructure has resulted in two companies and a partnership to ensure growth and future succession can take place. The preservation of equity was most important matter for all stakeholders.
Without their knowledge and forthright suggestions and critiques, we would not have been able to experience our high level of success. We are very comfortable with the working relationship and ease with which they are able to communicate with us and their availability when we need them.
Renier's support and knowledge in the rural sector is extensive and he understands the demands on farming today. He visits us on our farm and has shown genuine interest in what we are doing and where we are heading.
This is above our expectations and it is reassuring to us to have him on our side."
