We recently celebrated Dana’s 5 year anniversary of joining McKilligan Financial.

Dana was Elaine’s very first employee, marking the start of Team McKilligan.

Dana has been a key player in developing some of our team, she gets on really well with our clients, and is always up for some fun.

To mark the occasion, we presented Dana with flowers and additional holiday entitlement.

Thank you, here’s to the next 5 years! 🥂

Did you have a go at guessing the weight of our 3 gimmers?

Drum roll …..

They weighed 243kg

We had 3 people who guessed correctly:
Heather Milne
Laura McKenzie
Rachael Whiteford

Their names went into a hat so Rachael was drawn as the winner of the bottle of whisky 🥃

The closest child was Isla Prentice with 241kg & she wins a box of chocolates 🍫

Well done to everyone who took part and thank you to Highland Mule Breeders for donating the prizes.

The gimmers & ewe lambs will be sold at the Highland Mule sale at Dingwall Mart on Monday 7 September 😉

We had an amazing Turriff Show.

Our first ever trade stand. I said if we were going to do one, we would do it properly.

And we definitely did that 🎉

We brought together both our businesses – McKilligan Financial and our own farming business. We had some of our breeding sheep on the stand with a Guess the Weight competition, and also took the opportunity to promote Highland Mule Breeders, a group of sheep farmers selling high-health breeding females from across the Highlands and beyond. We’re proud to be members ourselves.

A huge thank you to our team, most of whom gave up a chunk of their weekend & most of show time to help on the stand. You were brilliant!

It was great to catch up with so many clients, friends, contacts & make new contacts over the two days. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat and supported us - the support was amazing 🥳

It’s today. Here are some topics of conversations we can have in any 24 hours:

🌾 should your business operate as a sole trader, partnership or limited company? What’s involved in moving from one to the other?

🌾 bookkeeping & VAT is probably nae your favourite job - we explain how we can make it slicker for you & us by using the Dext app, Xero bank feeds & getting suppliers to copy us into all your bills.

🌾 how your choice of breeding styles may be having an impact on your bottom line & how the biggest costs are the ones that don’t show on your profit & loss account (poor lambing or calving percentages & deaths!)

🌾 you want to buy a farm - what does the bank want, what do you need to be thinking about, and what do you need to have in place to make it happen? If your finances are in order, you increase your chance of success immediately.

🌾 you want to bring the next generation into the business - how & when do you do that? What’s the tax implications? What else do you need to be thinking of?

🌾 discuss your 2025/26 accounts, including stock held, draft profits and the draft tax position. Consider things like capital allowances, partner profit allocations and possible farmers averaging claims.

🌾 what have you got planned over the next year or two, how is that going to impact your tax position? Is there anything else you need to be thinking about before your year end?

So many conversations, which are different with every person, every family & every business.

Does your accountant understand your farming business?
