Combining CFO-level insight with hands-on agriculture knowledge to deliver financial clarity for modern farming operations.
Seth Nichols is the founder of SHN Solutions, a strategic finance and technology firm helping modern agriculture operations gain clarity, control, and confidence in their financial future.
With deep experience across dairy, beef, and row crop sectors, Seth combines CFO-level insight with hands-on ag knowledge to deliver customized solutions in financial modeling, data automation, and operational strategy.
He is passionate about building tools that empower producers — from dynamic cost tracking to SaaS platforms — and believes the next generation of ag success will be led by those who harness both soil and software.
"Agriculture is unique. Generic financial advice doesn't account for commodity cycles, weather risks, or the capital-intensive nature of farming. That's why I focus exclusively on ag operations — because your business deserves financial expertise as specialized as your farming knowledge."
— Seth Nichols, Founder
