Print Accrual Reports

Accrual accounting measures the true profitability of your farm business. Unlike cash-basis accounting where profitability can be skewed by prepaid expenses and deferred income, accrual-basis financials hide nothing. Accrual accounting reports income when earned versus when received, and expenses when incurred — not necessarily when paid.

At year-end, an accrual-basis farm operator reports the following: income on grain not yet sold coupled with expenses incurred but not yet paid. Accrual accounting usually takes into account investments made in cattle and growing crops on the balance sheet as an asset, rather than an expense deducted on the income statement.

Calculate Payroll

Our payroll system is designed for agricultural businesses of all sizes. Pay by salary, hourly, per piece, overtime, double overtime, or customize the pay type to include hourly and piece rate for the same employee. Enter payroll records for full time or seasonal employees and the system will calculate Federal, FICA and most state withholdings. Payroll earnings can be integrated into the field records for calculating cost per acre or cost per unit of production — giving you more power to make timely decisions.

E-File Your W-2s and 1099s

Upload your W-2s, W-3s, 1096s, and 1099 electronically to the IRS, Social Security Administration, and state agencies. This service benefits farms of all sizes with anywhere from one employee (or 1099 vendor) to hundreds of employees (or 1099 vendors). The service also gives you the ability to have forms printed and mailed to your employees and/or vendors, eliminating the process of you printing and mailing W-2s, W-3s, 1096s, and 1099s — which provides a huge time savings.

What are our customers saying?

We absolutely love how it provides cash and accrual accounting, market value balance sheets, enterprise analysis, and financial ratios. It allows us to examine and monitor the ‘big picture’ of our operation, yet drill down to the cost per acre or per bushel.”

– Laura Ehnle, Edelstein, IL

“I can input every dime, nickel and penny and allocate it where I want – to equipment, acreage, people, an enterprise of some kind, or somewhere else. Then I can review that data and know my operational costs right down to the exact acre and bushel.”

– Mitch Konen, Fairfield, MT
