We look at things differently
Family arrangements, partnerships, and private businesses are the norm amongst our clients in the agribusiness and wine sectors.

Start up

We support entrepreneurs, individuals, families and business partners to establish the right business structure and back office systems to mitigate risk while positioning for growth. We advise around taxation compliance, budgeting and strategy, supporting realistic goal setting and an appreciation of commercial realities.

From bookkeeping, cash flow management and forecasting to management reporting, tax planning and financial modelling, Holman Hodge has your back.
For multigenerational family businesses, we also support the creation and management an inclusive and transparent governance structure, like a family board.
Transition options
Planning for retirement has the promise of time for family, travel or the pursuit of passions beyond your business. But it also means preparing for business succession or sale. It can be a complex, stressful and emotional time, especially when dealing with land and assets that have been in the family for generations. We know that there are often perceived inequalities, particularly in farming, and managing this is challenging.
Holman Hodge support clients to plan for and manage this process, educating and preparing the next generation for new leadership roles in your family business or providing guidance around business valuation and sale.
Wealth management
Wealth accumulation and management is a consideration throughout your working life, not just as you transition to retirement. We provide you with guidance around this, including superannuation and estate planning.
