Step 2: Apply the Farming Chart of Accounts

  • We provide 2 farming mapping lists within UK Farming Working Papers package: 
  • The Farming Chart of Accounts (CoA) is based on the standard CoA but includes a range of additional codes for agricultural categories such as sheep, cattle, wheat, and barley.

Step 3: Set up your Farming client templates

  • The recommended approach is to create dedicated client templates for farming clients. Silverfin provides pre-built Workflow Working Screens, Workflows, and Reports to help you get this set up quickly.
  • Farming workflows are separated into two types: Unincorporated and Limited. Make sure you select the correct one for each client.

Step 4: Allocate account templates to the relevant codes

To make the most of Silverfin's automation, you can link specific account templates to incoming account codes. For farming clients, the following two account templates are recommended for allocation:
