EVDW

Located in the agricultural heartland of Stellenbosch, EVDW is a specialised accounting and finance firm that understands farming not just as a set of numbers, but as a long-term, generational business. Based in Die Boord, Stellenbosch, EVDW focuses on helping primary producers, agri-investors, and export-focused enterprises build resilient, financially sound operations that can compete locally and globally. With deep roots in the corporate farming and export environment, EVDW combines professional accounting expertise with hands-on understanding of orchards, vineyards, livestock, and packhouses. The firm works with farmers, agribusinesses, financiers, and investors who need more than basic bookkeeping: they need a partner who can translate field data into robust financial strategies, and who understands the pressures of seasonal cycles, regulatory requirements, and international markets. EVDW’s clients span a wide variety of commodities, including table grapes and wine grapes, pome and citrus fruit, vegetables, greenhouse and open-field cash crops, livestock, poultry, and niche crops such as berries, tropical fruit, dates, and seed. From established estates to ambitious greenfield projects, the firm serves businesses across the Western Cape, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, and broader African and international regions, all from its professional base in Stellenbosch, Western Cape. ## Services & Specialties EVDW provides specialised accounting and financial planning services tailored to the agricultural and export sectors. A core focus is financial modelling and planning for both greenfield and brownfield projects. The team builds detailed financial models that form the backbone of bankable business plans, giving farmers, agri-finance institutions, foreign investors, and private equity investors the clarity they need to move forward with confidence. Whether it is a new development, an expansion, or a refinance transaction, EVDW supports clients with debt funding applications, grant funding applications, and refinancing solutions underpinned by realistic, data-driven projections. Beyond project-based work, EVDW offers ongoing farm-focused financial management. This includes monthly management accounts, budgets, and cash flow forecasting that are tightly linked to actual production data. Financial models are built from the orchard and vineyard level up, often projecting over a 20-year horizon, so that every strategic decision is informed by both agronomic and financial realities. Acting as a soundboard CFO, the EVDW team maintains close communication with clients, including regular farm visits, to ensure financial strategies stay aligned with operational realities on the ground. EVDW also delivers comprehensive cloud-based accounting services to a geographically diverse client base. Recognising the challenge remote farmers face in accessing specialist accountants, the firm uses the Xero accounting platform to work seamlessly with clients across the Northern, Western, and Eastern Cape, and further afield in regions such as Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, Limpopo, and Morocco. By providing accurate, timely, and detailed accounting, EVDW helps producers of table grapes, wine grapes, dates, tropical fruit, pome fruit, citrus, livestock, and poultry make sound, data-backed decisions in real time. ## Why Choose EVDW - Deep agricultural and export expertise: EVDW focuses on farming and agri-export businesses, combining accounting qualifications with practical understanding of orchards, vineyards, livestock operations, and export requirements. - Bankable financial models and business plans: The firm specialises in building financial models that support bank funding, grant applications, and investor transactions, giving stakeholders confidence in project viability. - Strategic farm-focused financial management: With monthly management accounts, budgets, and forecasts built from orchard and vineyard data, EVDW offers a CFO-style perspective specifically tailored to farming operations. - Cloud-based accessibility for remote farmers: Using Xero cloud accounting, EVDW serves farmers and agribusinesses across multiple provinces and countries, bridging the distance barrier for professional accounting support. - Multi-disciplinary and qualified team: The team includes CA(SA), CIMA, SAIPA and agriculture-qualified professionals, bringing together financial discipline and agricultural insight for more relevant advice. - Long-term, relationship-based approach: Through regular communication and on-farm visits, EVDW builds close relationships with clients, ensuring that financial solutions stay aligned with evolving operational and regulatory demands. ## Location & Accessibility EVDW operates from Die Boord in Stellenbosch, within the central business environment of Stellenbosch, Western Cape, conveniently located for both local producers and regional agribusiness stakeholders.
