Your farmers have never needed to plan more than they do today. But this is placing you under more pressure than ever before.

Volatility in commodity prices, interest rates, supply costs and weather have come one on top of another. Most firms are responding by combining the expertise that has served them well for years with the familiar tools of QuickBooks Online and highly customized spreadsheets — and using generalist tools for a job as specialized as ag planning stretches your time and staff beyond what is sustainable.

What's Inside

Planning Through the Year with the Figured Platform

By reframing planning as an always-on service, you help clients achieve better outcomes by instilling best-practice financial management — and create more opportunities to unlock high-value services for your firm. The guide maps the year:

  • End-of-year reporting. Building your foundation for value-added services
  • Annual planning. Integrated three-way forecasting
  • Ongoing reviews. Monitoring clients with the advisory dashboard
  • Price changes and severe weather events. Updating forecasts and planning for change as they happen
  • Dynamic benchmark reporting. In-season benchmarking for compliance and planning clients

The traditional approach of preparing an annual budget and locking it away is irrelevant now. Extra volatility often results in a budget being out of date after a couple of months. With Figured, we can update forecasts monthly to ensure better financial decisions are made and farming businesses can adapt to changing environments more regularly.
