P2PAgri Essentials
Free Farm Financial Software for Australian Farmers
Your tax return holds more answers than you think. P2PAgri Essentials turns it into a management P&L, balance sheet and the bank ratios lenders look at. Completely free, no credit card, no time limit.
Is There Really Free Farm Financial Software?
Yes. P2PAgri Essentials is the free plan of P2PAgri, the farm business management platform developed with GRDC and used by Australian farmers, advisers and ag colleges. It is not a cut-down trial that expires. It is a permanent free plan built around one idea: every farmer should be able to see their business the way their bank sees it, without paying for the privilege.
Most farm businesses already have the raw material sitting in a drawer: the tax return. Essentials takes the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet your accountant has already prepared and turns them into management information, including the key ratios lenders assess. Load a few years and you can see whether the business is building wealth or drifting.
Why free? Because that first clear look at the numbers is where good farm business management starts. Some farmers stay on Essentials for years. Others move up to the Season plan when they want monthly cash flow budgeting, or the Future plan for 5-year planning and scenario analysis. Either way, you start free and decide with your own numbers in front of you.
What You Get on the Free Essentials Plan
Everything below is included at no cost. No credit card at signup, and no expiry date.
Management Profit & Loss
Turn your tax return data into a management P&L that shows how the business actually performed, not just what the tax office needed to see.
Balance Sheet & Equity
Your full asset and liability position and your equity in one place, so you know exactly what the business is worth.
Bank Ratios with Visual Dials
The key ratios your bank looks at, shown as simple visual dials. See your business the way your lender sees it, before they do.
Multi-Year Trend Analysis
Load several years of tax returns and watch the trends: is equity building, are costs creeping, is the business heading the right way?
Xero & MYOB Import
Connect Xero directly, or upload Excel reports from MYOB and other packages. Your figures flow in without retyping.
Check My Figures
Press one button and P2PAgri looks over the year for the things that most often throw farm figures out, like income tax or capital works in the expenses or machinery still at its tax value, and tells you what to fix.
Free Training Included
Free one-on-one Zoom training to get you started, and a free 30-minute call with founder Mike Krause once your figures are in. Plus guided walkthroughs, training videos and the AI assistant built into the platform.
