Testimonial
We went to AAL to review our business and to see if we could get better analysis of the business performance, and enable decision making. Farming is a very hands on business, and as a farmers we hate the paperwork but understand its importance to our business, but not 9 months after our year end. AAL has significant knowledge in Agriculture and in managing large commercial operations. Farming is a business of tight margins, but it is a way of life and to ensure the way of life continues we needed to be sure our business could be more efficient in achieving better results. AAL took the data and worked with us to analyse and breakdown our business, restructure its recording and analysis. We segmented all of the business and have clear visibility of performance. The set up was very professional, we are now sitting down at quarterly / regular intervals to review performance. I needed to act as I needed to make changes and move with the times, AAL have provided us with a comprehensive solution for our needs and have gone a step further with detailed but simplified reporting, along with key advice throughout the year. The recommendations and solutions that they provided has ensured that I am more focused on my returns the service has given me the best possible tools to drive my business forward and more importantly it has set us on a clear path. AAL have the solutions and know farming.
