Looking for better ways to manage your farm finances, create budgets, or make smarter decisions with real-time data? In this episode of Your Ag Empire, we talk with Erin Arick from Figured, a cloud-based farm financial management platform built specifically for farmers, ag advisors, and accountants.

We explore how Figured integrates with QuickBooks and Xero, helps track profitability by crop season, and enables scenario planning for long-term growth—or even succession planning and exiting the operation.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why cloud-based farm accounting tools matter
• How Figured helps farmers make data-driven decisions
• The difference between tax accounting and managerial accounting
• How to track crop and livestock performance in real time
• Ways to collaborate with your ag advisor or banker using shared reports
• How Figured supports sustainability and long-term profitability in agriculture

Plus, we share real-world examples of producers who used the tool to avoid burnout, restructure debt, or retire with dignity.

Whether you’re scaling up, thinking about succession, or just tired of guessing with spreadsheets, this episode offers clear, practical insights for better financial decision-making in agriculture.
