Succession planning can feel daunting, but breaking it down helps. As part of our Succession Planning Series, we’re sharing practical tips to make the process a little less overwhelming.

Kicking off the series, our first insight is to start the conversation early — much earlier than you might think.

Succession planning shouldn’t wait until the last minute. Ideally, it begins 5–10 years before retirement, giving you time to mentor the next generation, gradually transfer responsibilities, and structure finances to support both your family and the farm — all things that take time and shouldn’t be rushed.

Starting early keeps options open, reduces the risk of conflict and tax issues, and sets your farm up for long-term success with minimal disruption to operations.

Some early steps to consider:

- Planning for off-farm investments to support non-farming family members
- Maximising profitability to leave a viable business for successors
- Structuring ownership so trading activities and land are separated if needed
- Putting appropriate life insurance in place

Getting started early gives you more control and a higher chance of a smooth transition.

If you have any questions or want to discuss your own succession planning, our team is here to help. Keep an eye out — we’ll be bringing you more insights from the series soon.

We’re excited to introduce Tabitha Marr, the newest member of the Hammond Davidson team.

Since joining us at the end of August she has already settled in seamlessly. You’ll no doubt get to know her more over time, but in the meantime here’s a little sneak peek.

Tabitha’s hidden talent? Ice skating — she spent 13 years figure skating from the age of three. On her bucket list is an African safari, and her go-to productivity hack is simple: a solid breakfast and lunch. If she wasn’t an accountant, she’d love to be an FBI agent (yes, like in Criminal Minds) or a psychologist. And when the day’s done, you’ll usually find her unwinding with a beer and a friend, or getting lost in a good book.

We’re thrilled to have you on board, Tabitha!
