The tabs in Ambrook help to navigate through Ambrook, and this article helps to find the accountant-specific workflows you might need to explore in Ambrook. We've also linked to additional articles that dig into the details about each section of the product.

  • Ledger: The Ledger in Ambrook is where you will find all cash basis activity for an account including incomes, expenses, bill payments, invoice payments, and any transactions tagged to balance sheet accounts. All amounts on the Ledger are debit normal regardless of the account a transaction is posted to. You can also find Journal Entries on the Ledger; even though Ambrook does support the ability to create cash-basis only journal entries they will still appear there. The Filter allows you to view activity by specific accounts, category, enterprise or many other criteria.

  • Wallet: Ambrook has an embedded cash account that allows customers to pay bills, receive invoice payments from customers, and manage cards that are issued to team members. The Wallet tab is a consolidated view of all wallet related activity and account information.

  • Invoices: The invoices tab is the home base for managing Accounts Receivable. On this page you can find invoice status (paid, unpaid, overdue) as well as important invoice details such as a history of payments recorded against an invoice. These can be either recorded future payments or matched payments that have cleared in the Ledger. By default, invoices are sorted based on the last date they were updated.

  • Bills: The bills tab is your home base for managing Accounts Payable. On this page you can find bill status (paid, unpaid, overdue) as well as important invoice details such as a history of payments recorded against a bill. These can be either recorded future payments or matched payments that have cleared in the Ledger. By default, bills are sorted based on the last date they were updated.

  • Analytics: This tab is where users can go for visualizations of their income and cash flow reports for the whole business, or for specific views by category, enterprise and entity. It helps users get snapshots of how their business is going overtime and see charts breaking out their cash flow trends.

  • Accounting: This is where you can find the P&L, Balance Sheet in Ambrook, as well as links to Reconciliation and other Exports. Clicking any of the amount fields in the financial statements opens up subledgers for any category or balance sheet account over a specified time period. This is the best place to review transactions systematically, conduct variance analysis, and make adjustments as you go. All of these in-app statements are available as exportable reports.

  • Settings: All of the system set-up details can be found here:

    1. Connections: Review existing bank connections or add new ones.

    2. Categories: This is where the income and expense accounts are listed and managed in Ambrook. You can rename categories, add sub-categories, and change the tax box associations from this page.

    3. Balances: This is where balance sheet accounts are managed in Amrook. You can create asset, liability, and equity accounts here, as well as edit opening dates and balances. You can record balance adjustments from this page which post as transactions to the Ledger.
