Your farm moves fast.
Your finances should too.
Beef prices dropped hard in 2023-24, then recovered strongly through 2024-25. The farmers who came through it confidently weren't better at predicting markets. They knew their financial position at every point in the season — and could act fast when it mattered.
Most livestock farmers are running their finances on Xero, MYOB, or a spreadsheet that's grown legs over the years. Those tools record what happened. They're not built to help you make decisions about what comes next.
What's inside
Why big decisions get made without the numbers
Over 50% of livestock farms invest significant capital every year — breeding stock, trade cattle, equipment, lease country. Most of those decisions get made without a clear financial picture, because pulling one together takes time the decision doesn't have.
The disconnection problem
Most livestock farmers have data — Xero or MYOB capturing transactions, AgriWebb tracking stock on the ground. The problem is none of it talks to each other. Every time you need to understand your financial position, someone has to manually pull it all together.
Two ways to run your farm finances
A side-by-side comparison of generic tools and spreadsheets versus farm-specific financial management, and the impact that having your livestock data and financial data are connected in one place, will have on your farm.
What Figured gives you
Always know where you are
A real-time view of your cash, livestock values, debt and budget vs actual — any time you need it, not just at year-end. When something comes up, you know where you stand before you commit.
Look forward, not just backwards
Live budgets, variance tracking and forward forecasting. Run scenarios before you commit — what does buying that mob do to your cash flow over the next six months? Model it before you decide, not after.
Numbers that mean something
Profit per head, cost of production, gross margin by mob or enterprise. The metrics that connect what's happening on the ground to what's happening in your bank account — year-round, not just at tax time.
Already using AgriWebb?
Births, deaths, sales, purchases and transfers flow directly into Figured — no double entry, no reconciling two systems at the end of the month. One source of truth.
Take Control of Your Farm's Financial Future
Market volatility isn't going away. But you don't have to face it without a clear financial picture. The farmers who come through tough cycles aren't the ones who predicted what would happen. They're the ones who knew where they stood and could move quickly when they needed to.
