William Sherring
Senior Supervisor
I’m a Senior Supervisor in the Agricultural Accounts and Tax team at Ellacotts, based in our Kettering office. I joined Ellacotts in October 2025, bringing over two decades of specialist experience in agricultural accounting and tax advisory across the UK.
My day-to-day role involves managing a diverse portfolio of farming and rural clients, including sole traders, partnerships, and limited companies. I support them with everything from accounts preparation and tax compliance to inheritance tax planning and strategic business advice. I particularly enjoy the variety of work and the opportunity to build long-term relationships with clients in the agricultural sector.
Before joining Ellacotts, I held senior roles at some of the country’s leading Agricultural specialist firms. Across these roles, I’ve developed deep expertise in farmers’ averaging, tax planning, benchmarking, and business development. I’ve also been involved in mentoring junior staff and contributing to seminars tailored to the farming community.
I hold ATT and AAT qualifications and have always been passionate about helping rural businesses thrive. What I love most about working at Ellacotts is the collaborative environment and the chance to make a real difference to our clients’ lives and businesses.
Coming from a Farming family from Exmoor, I am proud to be able to support a sector that is very close to my heart.
Away from the office, I enjoy watching cricket and rugby, exploring new places, and spending time with my family.
