Leveraging Reports

Written by Paige Wyler

Ambrook has multiple in-app reports used for reviewing transactions, including the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet reports. These reports allow a user to click into any date and account or category to bring up a subledger of all transactions for that time period. Accountants and bookkeepers use these tools to review accounts, find errors, and correct as they go. Both reports are available on a cash and accrual basis. A full video walkthrough of these reports is here.

In addition to in-app reports, there are many more reports that can be exported and manipulated in Excel. A summary of these reports is below, and a full list is here.

Display options for in-app reports

On the Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, click the three-dot menu at the top right of the report to open Display options:

  • Round amounts: round figures to the nearest whole dollar.

  • Hide zero-value rows: hide accounts or categories with no values in any column.

  • Sort by account code: order accounts within each section by their account code, lowest to highest.

  • Sort by amount: order accounts within each section by amount, largest first, available on the P&L only.

When you download the P&L, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, or General Ledger with Sort by account code turned on, the export uses the same order.

Setting account codes

Account codes come from the optional Number / Code / ID field on each balance sheet account and each category. Edit it from Accounts (for balance sheet accounts) or Settings → Categories (for categories). You don’t need a code on every account to use the sort.
