A broad farm accounting platform for livestock operations and rural advisers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Farm Focus is cloud-based farm financial management software for farmers, growers, advisers and rural professionals. Its core scope combines bank feeds, automatic reconciliation, GST calculation and filing with Inland Revenue, Working Plan budgeting, cash-flow planning, livestock monitoring, financial reporting, invoicing and document storage. The platform is designed for New Zealand and Australian farm businesses, with workspace capabilities for accountants and bookkeepers. A 30-day trial is advertised, and access is provided through the web.
The published plans are arranged around different levels of farm financial management. Farm Focus Monthly and Farm Focus Annual include unlimited users, bank feeds and GST returns, Working Plan and budgeting, livestock monitoring, performance reporting and document storage. Focus Limited Monthly and Focus Limited Annual cover GST, invoicing, bank feeds, simple livestock reconciliation and an asset register. Additional products extend the platform with budgeting, financial management and scenario planning through Focus Advantage; separate business-area reporting through Management Tags; and payday filing to Inland Revenue with payroll support through Focus Payroll Small. The plan structure suits farms that want to add capabilities as their operational needs expand.
Farm Focus stands out for combining accounting workflows with farm-specific functions, including livestock reconciliation, dairy production forecasting, management and cost tags, and AI-powered report insights. Integrations include Lightning Payroll, Mobble, Crystal Payroll, Farmlands, Farm Source, DairyBase, PaySauce, Fonterra and Invoice Scanner, giving it useful connections across payroll, agricultural services and document handling. Livestock farms that need tax-ready records, cash-flow planning and operational reporting should consider it. Businesses seeking a narrow invoicing tool, or access beyond the web, may prefer a more focused alternative.
