Building Your Agricultural Accounting Practice Starts Today, 8/27/26

Are you ready to take on more than 1.8-million new accounting clients? If yes, then this article is for you.

That new client base of 1.8-million family farms has a combined Gross Cash Farm Income of more than$920 trillion (with a 'T'), and the vast majority of it is kept recorded in notebooks, some ledger pages, perhaps an Excel spreadsheet, and a bunch of receipts kept in cowboy-boot boxes.  

If the ideal of a niche practice with 1.8-million potential clients appeals to you, then you need to consider becoming an Agricultural Financial Advisor using  Figured , an agricultural software platform providing ‘smart farm financial management’. Figured can assist agricultural operations in the areas of planning, budgeting, forecasting and reporting on their farming (crop growing) operations, their dairy (milk production) operations, their ranching (cattle, hogs, sheep, etc.) operations, or other agricultural businesses involving a combination of operations like farming and dairy, dairy and ranching, or ranching and farming.  

Figured can turn your compliance firm into an agricultural niche advisory firm supporting those 1.8 million1 farmers and ranches in the United States who need a 'trusted advisor' like you to provide them with valuable insights you can share with those agricultural businesses. 

But there is no time to waste because your opportunity starts today, August 27th at 12:00 PM Eastern, when the folks from Figured Agricultural Software will be presenting the first of a three-part webinar series on transitioning from a compliance-based accounting, bookkeeping, tax preparer and business consultant (including ProAdvisors) to an Agricultural specialized advisory practice.

In today's session, you will learn the differences between Agriculture (farming, ranching or dairy) operations and other businesses like eCommerce, or non-profits, manufacturing, or distribution.

Those differences include the key metrics required to tracking that critical data typically found in frequently crop records logs, or dairy production spreadsheets, or a cow-calf notebook in the pickup glove box or saddle bag of the ranch foreman.

These are the numbers that are never really valued for a meaningful look at Assets, Liabilities, Profit and Loss. But, with this training you can transition from a compliance to Agricultural Advisory practice, a practice that will focus on those 1.8 million small farmer or rancher operations. 

Register HERE for today's,August 27, 2026, Agricultural Accounting Advisory webinar.
