Lightning Payroll and Farm Focus Partner to Power Smarter Farm Financials
Lightning Payroll is excited to announce the release of our new integration with Farm Focus, a purpose-built farm financial management platform designed for rural businesses. This partnership brings payroll and farm financials closer together, helping farming operations save time, reduce double handling, and gain clearer insight into labour costs across the business.
Farm Focus supports budgeting, cashflow forecasting, enterprise costing, planning and performance reporting, all tailored to the realities of farming. With Lightning Payroll now part of that workflow, farm owners, managers and advisors can better connect payroll figures to the financial story of the farm.
Payroll Data That Drives Better Decisions
Payroll is one of the largest and most important costs on many farms, yet it often lives in a separate system. That can mean manual re-entry, spreadsheet workarounds, or delays in getting accurate numbers into reports.
With the Lightning Payroll + Farm Focus integration, you can export payroll totals directly into Farm Focus as coded invoices. Wages and on-costs are captured cleanly, so Farm Focus can reflect the true cost of labour for better costing, forecasting and decision-making.
How the Integration Works
The workflow is designed to be simple and practical for busy teams:
- Import account codes from Farm Focus into Lightning Payroll to support accurate allocation and reporting.
- Select pays from a completed pay run and export them to Farm Focus as invoices.
- Use the data immediately in Farm Focus for analysis, budgeting and enterprise performance reporting.
This approach keeps payroll processing streamlined in Lightning Payroll while ensuring the financial totals your farm needs are captured where they are most useful.
Built for Modern Farming Businesses
Both platforms are focused on making administration easier and financial visibility stronger. By connecting payroll with farm financial management, the integration helps reduce repetitive tasks and supports more confident planning based on up-to-date labour costs.
Launch Offer Available
To celebrate the release, a limited-time launch offer is available for eligible new customers: 90% off the first three months. Check the offer details on the Farm Focus page and get in early while the promotion is running.
