Welcome to Hidderley’s Farm Bookkeeping
At Hidderley’s Farm Bookkeeping Ltd, we provide dedicated, reliable financial support for agricultural businesses across Staffordshire. With over four decades of experience, we offer a calm, consistent presence in an industry that never stands still — helping farms run smoothly behind the scenes.
Our services are tailored to agricultural clients, from soft fruit growers to dairy farmers.
We use the trusted Xero platform to deliver clear, efficient and professional bookkeeping.
If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re juggling paperwork alongside everything else-and wondering if there’s a better way. Good news: At Hidderley’s Farm Bookkeeping, we believe farmers should be free to do what they do best-run their farms, care for their land, and spend time with the people (and animals) that matter most. Wrestling with receipts after dark? That’s where we come in.
Based on the Staffordshire–Shropshire border, we are a trusted, modern farm bookkeeping practice with over 43 years of hands-on experience in British agriculture. We understand that bookkeeping rarely tops the to-do list-it’s often squeezed into evenings, weekends, or snatched between milking and meetings.
Our job is to lift that weight off your shoulders.
Who We Are
With over four decades of experience, Hidderley’s Farm Bookkeeping Ltd is a small, dedicated team specialising in agricultural accounts. From dairy farms to arable operations, we provide reliable support that understands the demands of rural business.
