Traditionally, agri reporting was seen as a compliance-style task — standardised documents designed to present numbers and summarise performance at a high level. They looked the same from farm to farm, regardless of the unique circumstances behind the figures.

While templated reports remain a reliable tool for presenting top-line performance, they can also limit the conversation. Farmers receive standardised outputs that show results but don’t fully reflect the context of their business, often leaving them wanting more from their accountants.

In today’s farming environment, whether in an upturn or facing tougher conditions, reports can do more than add up. They can tell a story that gives everyone the clarity to make decisions with confidence.

That’s why we’re enhancing the reporting experience at Figured, starting with the new Reporting Studio, now released in Beta. 

Staying true to Figured’s core strengths of efficiency and accuracy, Reporting Studio also gives advisors and farmers clearer visibility, greater ownership, and the freedom to design reports that truly fit their purpose. You still have all the benefits of Figured’s out-of-the-box reports, now with added flexibility.

Let’s take a look at how Reporting Studio can amplify the conversations you’re already having with your farmers.

More Transparency and Control with the Formula Library

No two farms or firms are identical, and reporting needs to reflect that. With the new Formula Library, you can:

• Use the built-in formula builder to create your own KPIs.
  Select variables from the list (whether financial, production, or operational values), choose the calculation, and define how the result should be displayed.
  
  
• See exactly how Figured’s default metrics are calculated,
  ensuring they align with your firm’s standards.
  
  
• Build formulas at both the farm and organisational level
  for consistency across clients or flexibility on individual farms.

No more working around fixed metrics, Your reports now reflect the way you and your clients define success.

Flexibility at Scale with Custom Reports

Custom Reports make it simple to prepare the right outputs — whether it’s an end-of-year client meeting, a bank presentation, or an internal review.

• Build reports from scratch or start from a template. Whichever you choose, you control the content and how the report is designed.
  
  
• Customise: manage layouts, add charts, images, pre-built and custom KPIs, and include commentary.
  
  
• Combine: bring together P&L, Balance Sheet, Cashflow, and KPIs in one view.
  
  
• Scale: create reports at both the organisational and farm level, and export in one click.

Classic templates are still available, but with Custom Reports you can go further and tailor outputs to any purpose and to the unique needs of each farm.

What This Means for the Farming Team

For accountants and advisors: Save time while tailoring outputs when needed. Reports become more engaging, sparking stronger client conversations and supporting better decision-making.

For farmers: Reports are easier to interpret, with visuals and commentary that connect financial performance directly to what’s happening on the farm.

Reporting Studio (Beta) will be available for both Farm Reporter and Farm Manager. You’ll still be able to use reporting templates while gaining access to new customisation tools.
