Figured’s classic reporting function generates P&L, cashflow, balance sheet, and variance against budget — the standard financial reports you might need each year, for example to support a lending conversation. These are produced directly from your accounting software, so the figures reflect the season to date.

Then, with Reporting Studio, you can take it even further — and if you can open a PDF, you can use Reporting Studio. Figured’s custom report builder, it lets you build highly visual farm reports with a drag-and-drop editor that’s easy to learn, and even easier to use. Use standard charts, tables, and KPIs to show what’s happening on the farm right now, or customise your own to tailor a report for a specific purpose or audience. Before you share, Auto Analyst writes the commentary for you, saving you time doing it all yourself.

While you can use Figured as a farmer without your accountant, we recommend checking whether your accountant or adviser is already on the platform first.

Setting up the platform correctly, including the accounting software connection, the trackers for your farm type, and the opening financial position, benefits from someone who knows the system well. Trying to do it without an adviser tends to mean a slower start and more things to unpick later.

Once you are set up, you have your own access to the platform and can see your farm’s financial data whenever you need it. The goal is for both you and your accountant to work from the same live numbers, so every conversation starts from a shared, current picture.

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 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.

A difficult season is best explained with data. Figured gives your accountant the numbers to build a report covering what drove the result, how it tracked against budget, and what the forward cashflow looks like going into the next season.

Banks generally respond well to farm teams that can clearly explain a difficult season and present a credible view of what comes next. With Figured, your accountant has the tools to build that case and context.

What your bank receives is a report that covers where the farm is now, how it got there, and what comes 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.
