The MCI & Associates agribusiness team is highly skilled in agribusiness accounting and advisory. With decades of hands-on experience working both on and in-farm as well as positions that support the industry, MCI is passionate about the farming industry and wants to ensure its future. The team offers a focus on family and corporate governance, business strategy, intergenerational transition/business succession, red meat farm systems, deal structuring, raising capital and formation of equity partnerships, advisory, and compliance.
MCI believes privately owned New Zealand agribusinesses are facing a tidal wave of forced regulation. As such, there is a need for greater independent advisory skills to support these businesses in making good strategic decisions.
It believes the mix of advisory and accountancy works perfectly together and is excited to share that the MCI advisory team has seen recent growth with the addition of Ally Apthorp.
Ally joined MCI in June; she is a local farmer from Pahīatua and has joined MCI as an agri adviser. Ally has spent the past nine years on the farm and is the mum of three children. She has previously worked for Ravensdown and has a strong skillset in environmental planning and developing whole farm systems. Ally has a strong desire to help farmers with her knowledge of environmental factors on farm, and with farm systems to help underpin their financial performance.
Ally will be running MCI’s red meat discussion group and is also looking forward to working alongside clients to assist with obtaining bank funding. She will work closely with Sean Stafford as MCI expands its business advisory function in the Tararua region.
