The Ranch Right Team
Ranch Right is a ranch and farm accounting and advisory firm built around one idea: a ranch should work for you, not the other way around. We handle management accounting, ranch business advising, tax, payroll, and insurance for cattle producers and family farms across the country – so the people doing the hard work can finally see where the money is made, where it leaks, and what to do about it. Ranch Right was named Best Agriculture Accounting Firm in Wyoming (2026) by Best of Best Review.
Who we are
Most ranchers don’t have a profit problem because they’re bad at ranching. They have it because the numbers live in a shoebox, a tax return, and their head, but never in one place where they can be used to make a decision.
Our founder, John Haskell, learned this from the outside in. He didn’t grow up on a ranch. He went to work for one that was genuinely profitable, and it changed how he saw the whole business. Over the next twenty years he worked for profitable ranches, started operations from scratch, and turned failing ones around. The pattern was always the same: the ranches that thrived treated the business with the same skill they brought to the land.
We help ranchers & farmers across the US & Canada grow more profitable, stable operations. Whether that’s through our accounting & advisory services, or through the Ranchonomics Podcast & our educational webinar series.

★★★★★
Ranch Right has been an incredible partner for our business. They do far more than provide fractional CFO services. They coach, challenge, and help us look around corners so we can make better decisions before problems arise.
One of the biggest benefits has been learning how to truly understand our numbers. Any business can collect data and generate reports, but if you’re not tracking the right metrics or understanding what the numbers are telling you, it’s hard to use that information effectively. Ranch Right has helped us turn financial data into actionable insights.
What sets them apart is their ability to cut through the noise and focus on what matters most. Every conversation comes back to practical, high-impact actions that help our business, our family, and our long-term goals succeed. If you’re looking for advisors who are thoughtful, strategic, and relentlessly focused on helping you improve, I highly recommend Ranch Right.

Who you’ll work with
Experienced professionals with hands-on farming & ranching knowledge
Ranch Right isn’t one person with a calculator. It’s a bench of advisors and accountants, most of them raised in agriculture or running their own operations today: cow/calf and seedstock, custom grazing, direct-to-consumer beef, row crops.
Many members of our staff are trained through Ranching for Profit. When you explain your operation, you won’t have to translate it first.
The work falls into two halves that fit together. First, where you’re headed: your goals, your budget, and the math on the gap between where you sit now and where you want to be. Then, how you get there: the grazing, marketing, sell/buy, and tax moves that close that gap.
