No. Figured works alongside your clients’ existing accounting software. Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks Online stay as the transaction record and general ledger. Figured pulls actuals automatically and adds what general-purpose accounting software doesn’t have: seasonal planning, production tracking, livestock valuations, and agri-specific reporting.

Closing values and journal entries post back into the accounting software, so both systems stay in sync. Most NZ agri practices run the two side by side.

Yes, both run on the same data and Figured is built to handle the full book of agri accounting services.

On the compliance side, Figured produces the year-end outputs that a client’s tax returns rely on, and keeps it up to date all year. That means there’s less of a spreadsheet scramble come balance date, as most of the reconciliation work will have already been done.

As for advisory, because Figured handles budgeting, forecasting, scenario modelling, and lending in the same platform, once you have the compliance setup right, advisory is a straightforward next step.

Yes, though the right setup depends on how the operation is structured in the accounting software.

Where multiple farms or enterprises sit under a single accounting file, Figured’s Multi-Farm feature uses Xero tracking categories to separate those enterprises within one Figured file. Each gets its own trackers, planning, and reporting, with a consolidated view across all of them.

Where each entity holds its own Xero account, those are set up as separate Figured farms, and Multi-Entity groups them for consolidated financial reporting across the group.

This also applies to clients on MYOB and QuickBooks Online.

Then, for sharemilking and contract milking, Figured has dedicated operation type support built into the Milk Tracker. Income splits, levy allocations, and forecasting calculate according to the arrangement selected at setup, and percentage changes between seasons update inside the same tracker.

The fastest way to get started is to book a live demo with our Partner Success team. Our experts will talk to you about your business, what you do now, and where you want to go, and show you how Figured can support that journey.

We generally recommend that NZ practices start small, defining a group of around five clients with someone inside the practice to champion the change. That lets you get a feel for how Figured can integrate naturally into your workflows without it being a huge project, and then you can scale up from there.

At any point, if you’d rather try it yourself first for free, simply create a demo farm on Figured and play with the tools and trackers.

Support doesn’t end at onboarding, either. Our Customer Success team is available to talk to when you have questions, and our Help Centre is full of useful articles on setup, integrations, and product information.

Figured Insights is a portfolio-level analytics and modelling tool for practices managing multiple farming clients, available on a separate subscription. It gives you one view across the whole book, including financial summaries, production data, and key ratios, filterable by farm type, region, or portfolio group. You can model how a market shift plays out across every client, and track performance at portfolio or individual farm level.

It works across your full client base, whatever mix of farm types you carry. Though the Figured Dairy Benchmark Report, included in New Zealand Insights subscriptions, is dairy specific, built from verified actuals across 2,000+ carefully selected New Zealand dairy farms.

Figured is priced as a monthly subscription per farm file, managed through your practice account. There are two farm tiers: Farm Reporter for real-time financial and production reporting, and Farm Manager, which adds budgeting, cashflow forecasting, and variance reporting to support those year-round advisory conversations.

Commercial Manager covers the non-farming entities in a client group.

As the accountant, you would generally hold the subscription and manage it on behalf of your clients. How you pass that cost on, whether itemised separately or folded into your fees, is a practice decision.
