A Figured Case Study
Sisam Farm, a fifth-generation family farming operation, was facing a transition in management and a need to modernize its financial practices as the former managing director stepped aside. With a complex business comprising multiple dairy, sheep, beef, and forestry blocks, the challenge was to give farm managers more budgetary responsibility while maintaining clarity and collaboration with their accountant and bank. They worked with the vendor, Figured, implementing its cloud-based financial planning tool alongside Xero.
The solution from Figured provided a central, cloud-based platform that gave the entire management team, their accountant from FARMit, and their bank manager instant access to the same real-time financial data. This fostered a more collaborative and proactive approach to management, saving an enormous amount of time for their bank and ensuring their accountant was fully involved in the business. The result was greater financial clarity, empowered staff, and confidence that the farm's legacy and profitability would continue for future generations.
