Improving the business of farming, together
Move your practice beyond processing numbers at year-end to provide trusted advisory services as a valuable part of the farming team. Spend less time gathering information from your clients to complete compliance focused tasks, and more time adding value by helping them set budgets, plan, forecast and prepare for what’s ahead.
You can manage Figured in-house and provide the financial information to your farming clients to make decisions - or you may have clients who want to manage it day-to-day, but have you on hand to help them out.
Streamlined Compliance
Figured provides a connected approach with your farming clients, even if you simply need to manage compliance.
Real-time Reporting
With high quality data from Xero and bank feeds, everybody always has the same numbers in front of them.
High-value Advisory
By connecting the farming team, you’ll have better conversations focused on the future of your clients’ farm.
The future of farm accounting
One team, one ledger
With all your client’s data in one place, you can collaborate with farmers and their bank using real-time financial information.
Improved efficiency
Stock reconciliation, crop tracking, production forecasting and budgeting is easier and more efficient.
Add value
Figured gathers the cash, tax, stock and crop reconciliation, meaning less time spent chasing clients and more time providing high value services.

What other accountants say
“Although the weather and its impact on yield are out of my hands, making good decisions when probabilities change isn't. With Xero I know where we are today, and with Figured I can see where we are going.”
Peter Knights
Farmer & Accountant, St Arnaud VIC
"Figured farmers are empowering themselves to take control of their finances and futures. Discussions are about going forward - the plan, the next steps - we're no longer always working in the past."
Brett Bennett
Farmer & Accountant, NZ
"Xero and Figured have halved the time spent on financial administration each month for one of our clients, saving us significant time and inefficiencies and allowing us to concentrate on adding real insight."
Jeremy Skedgwell
Accountant, NZ
"With Figured and Xero, the whole farming team collaborate to plan effectively for the future. We can provide more value than just doing compliance, therefore have a much stronger relationship with our clients."
Scotty Jenkin
Accountant, Noone Plus
"Instead of spending hours pulling information from different places, I can run the majority of what I need straight out of Figured. Meetings are also more productive because we have really accurate data."
Sarah Miskell
Accountant, Campbell Tyson
"We can now use Figured in a way that has given us more clarity around stock management and we don’t have to spend so much time at the end of the month trying to reconcile those stock numbers"
Lynette Broomby
Accountant & Farmer, FJB Accounting, TAS
"Farmers have a big job, with little time for cash flows & budgets. That’s where Xero and Figured are great, making it possible to collate information to make decisions against budget forecasts"
Julia Jones
KPMG Farming Specialist, Hamilton NZ
"Farmers have many factors out of their control each year – from weather conditions to shifting commodity prices. With Figured and Xero, there is one less obstacle in regaining control of their finances."
