The Cost of Flying Blind
Disorganised farm bookkeeping doesn't just waste time. It costs you:
Direct hits to your bottom line:
● Surprise BAS bills when you thought cashflow was sorted
● Missing fuel tax credits and deductions worth thousands
● Your accountant asking questions you can’t answer because your records are months behind
● Making fertiliser or stocking decisions based on last year's guesses, not this year's data
The hidden costs that hurt more:
● Buying that next block without knowing if your current enterprises are even profitable
● Your wife staying up until midnight trying to reconcile Nutrien invoices in a spreadsheet
● Arguing about whether you can afford a new header when you genuinely don't know
● The constant stress of being 6 months behind, knowing you should be on top of it but aren't
● Watching neighboring properties expand while you're paralysed by uncertainty about your own numbers
You can't grow a farming operation confidently when you're guessing.
Why Growing Farms Are Joining the Waitlist
You're Not Hiring a Rural Bookkeeper. You're Getting an Ag-Specialist System.
The problem with your current options:
● Local rural bookkeepers understand ag but can't give you real-time data or integrated systems
● General bookkeepers are tech-savvy but code everything incorrectly because they don't understand fuel tax credits, livestock, or commodities
● DIY with spreadsheets means your partner is drowning in paperwork instead of bringing value where she’s actually needed
● Your accountant doing everything is expensive, slow, and you only find out once a year if you made money
AgBooks gives you: ag knowledge + modern systems + year-round support.
What Makes AgBooks Australia Different
Modern Systems That Actually Understand Farming
AgBooks Australia was created by Sarah Parkinson, who runs the award-winning Diverse Bookkeeping team and lives on a broadacre cropping and cattle property in Western Queensland. She's seen firsthand what farmers actually need: systemised, year-round bookkeeping that tracks true enterprise profitability, not just a BAS lodgment service.
● Xero + Figured Integration See your true cost of production by enterprise. Know if your wheat is subsidising your cattle, or vice versa. Forecast cashflow between sales so you're not flying blind.
● Year-Round Management, Not Once a Year Panic Monthly reports within 10 days. BAS lodged on time. Fuel tax credits claimed. Livestock movements tracked properly. All year round, not just at tax time.
● Industry-Specific Expertise We understand commodities, fuel tax credits, livestock, large machinery purchases. We've set up dozens of farm Xero files properly not just guessed at the chart of accounts.

Why Sarah Built AgBooks
AgBooks was created by Sarah Parkinson, who runs the award-winning Diverse bookkeeping team while living on a broadacre cropping and cattle property in Western Queensland.
She’s seen the problem from both sides: farmers stuck with bookkeeping that doesn’t understand ag, and farm partners drowning in clunky spreadsheets because “someone has to do it.”
Farmers deserve better. You deserve systems that track enterprise profitability, forecast cashflow, and give you the data to make confident decisions.
That's why AgBooks exists: modern systems + ag expertise, delivered by the team that already does this at the highest level.
