1. Technology overview
Figured is a farm financial management software company headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, founded by farmers and accountants Carl McDonald and David Marshall and backed by NZ farm investment company MyFarm. It serves more than 35,000 farm businesses and over 1,500 accounting and advisory firms in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the US.
The platform connects accounting data from Xero, QuickBooks Online or MYOB with production data, so farmers, accountants, consultants and agricultural lenders can build budgets, forecast cashflow, track budget against actuals and model scenarios.

Banks get free read-only access to clients' actuals, budgets and production data.
