Services We Offer

A full suite of services
Art Spielman has been working on his family’s dairy farm since he was eight years old. Today, Spielman Farm, LLC, in Baltic, Connecticut, has 1,200 cows, milking over 600, and also operates a custom harvesting business. Art’s parents had been utilizing some of Farm Funders’s other services, including credit services and consulting, and when Art transitioned into a management role several years ago, he decided it would be a good business decision to add payroll and financial record-keeping to the list.
How we helped
Before transitioning to Farm Funders’s record-keeping service, Art’s mother took care of the books. “The tax and payroll laws started to get too complicated,” explained Art. So, the Spielmans put their trust in the employees at Farm Funders. “They stay up to date in agricultural tax and payroll laws so that it’s one less thing we have to worry about,” said Art. Additionally, Art says that maintaining all of their accounting services, including payroll and taxes, in one place has been a huge benefit. Now, Art and his family have more time to focus on the other important aspects of managing their business and are equipped with accurate and timely reports to help guide their decisions.
