Accounting software for farms
Farm accounting software has to make sense of a year where costs come months before the income. Adopt keeps the farm’s books and monthly close current, and your team approves every entry.
How farms handle this today.
Costs first, income later. Seed, feed and fuel are paid for long before the crop or livestock is sold.
Big, irregular payments. Equipment, land and loan payments do not follow a monthly pattern.
Several enterprises on one farm. Crops, livestock and custom work share the same bank account.
Records pile up until tax time. The books are built once a year, from a box of statements.
