Farm Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Tax Services in California

Financial solutions built for the unique challenges of leading an agricultural business.

Running an agricultural business takes grit—and a whole lot of financial juggling. At RLJ Financial Services, we’ve worked with enough California farmers and ag business owners to know the numbers matter just as much as the yield. But most bookkeeping systems aren’t built to handle the seasonal swings, multi-stream income, or high-stakes equipment investments that define modern farming.

That’s why we’ve developed farm bookkeeping and tax strategies designed specifically for the ag world. When you work with us, you’re not getting a generic CPA who treats farming like any other business. You’re working with professionals who know how agriculture works, down to the last Schedule F line item.

“The entire team at RLJ Financial is fantastic. Communicative, informative, and easy to approach. Their attention to detail and knowledge of the system are unparalleled. They have earned my highest recommendation for both personal and business taxes.”

– Amin, RLJ Client

Common Questions from Clients in the Agriculture Industry

What tax strategies do most farmers overlook?

Many miss out on optimized equipment depreciation, fuel tax credits, conservation program deductions, and income averaging.

Why is farm bookkeeping so different from other businesses?

Your revenue comes in bursts. Your expenses are constant. Your risks are weather-dependent. That’s why cookie-cutter accounting doesn’t cut it.

Can you track income from multiple sources like land rent and livestock sales?

Absolutely. We design systems that give you clarity across all revenue streams—crop sales, livestock, equipment rental, and more.
