Figured are committed to supporting rural women in our own backyard. We are a proud sponsor of the New Zealand Dairy Women’s Network, a community of women we are dedicated to adding value to the dairying community.

Certified Figured Advisers are now identified when searching in the app, meaning that users can see who in an accounting practice is certified in using Figured.

Our latest (and so far, largest) release included several key updates:

Figured is very proud to have been presented with the award for Asia-Pacific Industry Specific App of the Year at the Xerocon South 2016 Gala Awards dinner on 9 September.

Our scenario planning tool, which provides a multi-year 3 way view (P&L, cash flow & balance sheet) of the farming operation, was announced at Xerocon South and has already received great feedback from attendees.

We were excited to announce at Xerocon South 2016 the introduction of a new type of cropping functionality in Figured which is designed to provide cropping operations with more detailed production related financial information.

Figured are pleased to announce we have entered into a partnership with Australian software company,Agworld.

Agworld is a Collaborative Farming Solution that captures on-farm data and improves communication and efficiencies by allowing farmers and agronomists to manage and work together on their business with staff and external service providers through an easy-to-use, cloud-based and mobile platform.

Figured are proud to share that we have been named as a finalist in the Innovation in Financial and Professional Services category at the New Zealand Innovation Awards 2016.

The New Zealand Innovation Awardscelebrate game-changing innovation in a broad range of industries and businesses from across the country, and it’s an honour to be nominated as a finalist for this year’s awards.

I joined Figured in July of this year having spent the past five years in rural banking. Why would I leave the perks and security of a bank job to join a startup you ask? The truth is that I believe farmers face enough challenges and I saw an opportunity to be part of a solution for at least one of them - access to real-time financial information to help make better business decisions to support them and their families now and into the future… and I wanted to be a part of it.
