Figured supports production tracking for dairy, livestock, cropping, and mixed farming operations.

For example, the Milk Tracker is built to capture monthly kgMS figures. The Livestock Tracker records stock movements. The Crop Tracker handles seasonal activity down to the field and crop type level. Plus Inventory Trackers help you track stock on hand and create valuations based on current data.

From here, production quantities across all farm types connect directly to the year’s budget and live cashflow data from Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks Online, linking on-farm activity to real financial performance in one platform.

While you can absolutely use Figured by yourself as a farmer, we do recommend checking to see if your accountant or adviser is already using it.

Getting your production trackers configured correctly, connecting to your accounting software, and making sure the opening position is right all benefit from someone who knows the platform well. Trying to do it without an adviser tends to mean a slower start and more things to unpick later.

Once you’re set up, though, you have your own access to the platform and can see your financial and production data at any time — not just when your accountant runs a report. The goal is for both you and your accountant to have access to the same live data, which you can view at the same time.

Many farmers around New Zealand have their data sync automatically from the production apps they use each day — like AgriWebb, FarmIQ, Trev, or Agworld.

Figured also syncs with a variety of other key data streams, like major milk processors, meat processors, and even the IRD.

Where an integration isn’t available or supported, data can still be entered manually — something which is considerably simpler in Figured than maintaining old spreadsheets or paper records. Once a number’s in Figured, it flows through to the Planning Grid and updates the financial plan automatically, keeping the production and financial pictures current in the same step.

Figured connects to Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks Online. If your farm accounting runs through any of those three, you can use Figured on top of it.

If you’re on an alternative accounting system, or using spreadsheets or paper-based records, you’d need to migrate to one of the supported systems first. While migrating to a modern platform can seem daunting, most farms never go back — there’s a reason they’re so popular.

It may help to talk to a Figured-enabled accountant about what you need to do next to upgrade your accounting system, then get onto Figured.

Your job is keeping the underlying data current — reconciling bank transactions in Xero and recording farm movements as they happen. The more current that is, the more useful Figured is for both of you.

Your accountant’s job is to work with that data inside Figured. They configure your farm’s trackers, manage the planning and reporting, and handle the year-end financial work: valuations, accruals, and the reports that go to the IRD and the bank. If they also offer advisory, they can help you plan ahead too — using Figured’s budgeting and scenario modelling tools.

When both sides have done their part, the conversation between you shifts from what happened last year, to what’s going on right now and, more importantly, what might happen next.

Figured is a monthly subscription, and the cost depends on which product tier your accountant sets you up on — Farm Reporter for reporting, or Farm Manager if you want planning and forecasting on top of that.

Most farmers don’t manage the subscription directly. Your accountant or adviser handles the setup, and depending on how they work, they’ll either pass the cost on to you separately or fold it into your advisory fees. The best person to ask is your accountant — they can tell you exactly what applies to your farm before you commit to anything.
