The World’s Largest Farm Financial Management Platform

There’s a reason thousands of agri-accounting firms across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, and the USA run their farming clients through Figured. More than 35,000 farms trust the platform — and the advisers who use it every day know exactly why.

Heard This Before?

“Reporting is one thing, but we can’t get the data fast enough for proactive advisory conversations.”

Most advisory relationships in NZ farming are built around the compliance calendar. It’s valuable work, but farming doesn’t work to the tax season. Decisions come up throughout the year, and by the time the next scheduled touchpoint arrives, the window might have passed.

There’s a gap between when farmers need live farm numbers for a decision, and when their accountant can get them together. General accounting software just wasn’t designed to handle the volatility of agriculture, so farmers make decisions alone — with data that’s months out of date.

Farm Manager closes that gap.

The Farm Financial Management Tool You’ve Been Looking For

Production Tracking

Production Data Connected to the Financial Plan

Dairy, livestock, and cropping production trackers feed directly into the financial plan, while integrations with major milk processors, meat processors, AgriWebb, and other data feeds bring information in from the source without manual entry. When production moves, the numbers move with it.

  • Dairy kgMS, stock movements, and crop gross margins tracked all season.
  • Live data synced from the farm apps you already use.
  • See how production connects to your financials.

Custom Reporting

Reports that Tell the Full Farm Story

Figured’s advanced custom report builder, Reporting Studio, gives agri-accountants full control over how farm performance is presented. Build branded layouts once at the organisation level, then open them across every client and watch as live data populates automatically. With Auto Analyst, even the commentary writes itself.

It’s never been easier to produce detailed, highly visual advisory reports, making this service scalable across your entire client base — reaching farmers who have never had this service from you before.

  • Custom templates built once, deployed across every client.
  • Add standard charts, tables, and KPIs, or customise your own.
  • Built-in AI commentary saves time and helps you scale.

Planning

Live Budgets Built on Real Farm Numbers

Figured’s Planning Grid turns the farm’s actuals, trackers, and forecasts into one live budget, updated as the season plays out. Then, carry last year’s plan and trackers forward in one step, so you can start next year with the data already filled in.

  • Integrated P&L, cashflow, and balance sheet from one plan.
  • Budget expenses by hectare, stock unit, or percentage of income.
  • Actuals from Xero, QBO, or MYOB flow in automatically.

AI

The Platform that Enables Better, Faster Work

Smart, agri-specific AI systems are built natively into Farm Manager, enabling the kind of efficiency that helps farm teams reach better decisions, faster.

Killsheets Automation allows AI to read incoming meat invoices and input the data automatically, while AI-supported categorisation helps get accountants into portfolio benchmarking more quickly. Then, Auto Analyst writes report commentary for you, at the level of detail you need, so you don’t have to.

This is a platform for the future, and more AI systems are in development.

  • AI-powered automation takes on the manual work.
  • Spend less time on data entry, and more on great advisory conversations.
  • Additional AI-powered systems on the way.

Collaboration

One Platform for the Whole Farm Team

In Farm Manager, every member of the farm team works from the same live data with their own role-based access. Farmer, accountant, banker, and other key stakeholders all see what they need to — no chasing numbers, no version control, no gaps between what the farmer knows and what the rest of the team can see.
  • Assign access based on each team member’s role.
  • Farmer, accountant, and lender in one workspace.
  • Work together faster without version control problems.

Crop-Level Gross Margins and Seasonal Cashflow

Farm Manager gives NZ farm teams crop-level gross margin reporting by crop type and season, plus seasonal cashflow planning from sowing to sale.

The crop gross margin report breaks performance down per hectare, so rotation decisions rest on what each crop actually returned rather than what the farm expected it to return.

One Platform for Farming and Commercial Clients Alike

Many accounting and advisory clients aren’t farming operations — some are commercial entities alongside a farm, or completely separate non-farm businesses in their own right.

Commercial Manager extends Figured’s capability to all of your non-farming entities, giving your practice one platform for every client relationship.

I can almost remember to the day when we discovered Figured, and it was like — oh my gosh, this is it. It’s just been so nice to get off the spreadsheets, get off the pen and paper, get off the napkins, and actually put some useful tools and information out there that you rely on and have confidence in.

Rather than going back and forth and back and forth and it taking a week to get a final forecast that we can then take to the bank, [in Figured] we can do it all within an hour and have the result then and there.

Integrations

Figured Works with the Software You Already Use

Figured doesn’t replace your existing software — it plugs in on top, pulling live data from Xero, QuickBooks Online, or MYOB, and integrates with the apps you already use to manage the farm.

Farm Manager — FAQ

The short version: Farm Reporter is for actuals. Farm Manager is for planning.

Farm Reporter gives farm teams access to real-time financial reporting drawn from their accounting software, including income, expenses, production tracking, and year-end valuations. It’s well-suited to farms where the main goal is accurate, current compliance reporting.

Farm Manager includes everything in Farm Reporter, plus live budgeting, cashflow forecasting, and variance reporting. It’s the right choice when you want to move the relationship beyond compliance — building seasonal plans, modelling different pricing or stocking scenarios, and having more regular conversations about where the business is heading.

For most NZ accountants building an advisory practice, Farm Manager is where that shift happens. Farm Reporter is a solid starting point for clients not yet ready to engage at that level.

Yes. Herd Scheme and National Standard Cost (NSC) valuations update automatically from IRD each year, covering every stock class without manual input. Dairy teams can journal milk income directly within Figured to generate accurate milk trading statements.

For livestock farms, Farm Manager’s trackers record movements throughout the season (births, deaths, purchases, ageing, and sales), generating year-end livestock trading statements directly from that data. Because the reconciliation runs all year, it takes far less time to assemble the year-end picture.

Only if you choose to. Farm Manager gives you full control over who sees your data — including whether to invite your bank or lender in as a read-only user.

For farmers, this means your bank can see your current position and forecasts without you having to prepare and send a report manually each time. For accountants, it means the bank is working from the same numbers you are, which typically makes bank conversations more straightforward.

No. Figured Insights is a separate subscription for accountants.

Where Farm Manager gives accountants a live financial picture for each individual client farm, Figured Insights adds a portfolio-level view: benchmarking client performance against regional and national data, modelling the impact of market changes across the whole client base, and identifying which clients need a conversation before they ask for one.

If you're running Farm Manager across a farming client portfolio, Figured Insights is designed to work alongside it.

See Figured Insights

For most organisations, getting started is relatively quick. Connecting your accounting software and creating the farm in Figured takes minutes, and our NZ-based onboarding and Customer Success team can help you get your trackers configured correctly from there.

A clean, well-organised file can be producing useful reports the same day. If your file needs a bit of tidying up first, our team will help you get there.

No. Farm Manager works alongside Xero — and it requires Xero (or QuickBooks Online, or MYOB) as the underlying accounting platform.

Xero handles the core accounting work, like invoices, bills, bank reconciliation, and GST returns. Farm Manager pulls that financial data in and adds the agri layer on top: production tracking, seasonal planning, scenario modelling, and Reporting Studio. They work together.

If you’re using Xero and want to add farm financial management and advisory capability, Farm Manager connects directly to your existing Xero account.
