We’re proud to work with clients who make a meaningful impact in their communities, and Nissen Christmas Trees is a shining example. This family-run business has grown from modest beginnings into one of Scotland’s leading Christmas tree producers, embodying the festive spirit while contributing to the vibrancy of rural life.
In the late 1970s, the Nissen family began planting Christmas trees, laying the foundation for a thriving enterprise. Today, under the stewardship of Anders and Amanda Nissen, the founders’ son and daughter-in-law, the business has expanded significantly. With operations spanning multiple farms and rented land across Angus and beyond, they now have an impressive 1.5 million Christmas trees in the ground.
Nissen Christmas Trees’ commitment to community is as remarkable as their business success. The Nissen family regularly gives back to the community, providing trees for schools and charities across Tayside.
The business faces the unique challenge of generating their entire year’s income within a six-week window of sales, a pressure that requires robust planning and financial management. That’s where our team at EQ Accountants comes in, offering a proactive approach to meet the Nissen family’s needs.
Our team of Forfar accountants deliver tailored business advice with a personal touch. From navigating the complexities of Labour’s latest budget, Brexit challenges, and interest rate rises, to helping Nissen prepare for future growth, we’re proud to be an ear to their problems and a partner in solutions.
Here are some of the ways we support Nissen Christmas Trees:
- Planning and Predicting: We help with budgeting and projections, preparing for the highs and lows of seasonal operations.
- Financial Management: We manage payroll, bookkeeping, end-of-year accounts, and more, ensuring the financial health of the business.
- Business Growth: From restructuring the business to supporting their expansion into new lands and markets, we are there every step of the way.
- Problem Solving: Whether it’s offering strategic advice or being a sounding board for challenges, we adjust and protect as we go.
