3 reasons operators prefer Ambrook

It’s easy to use, yet powerful

My accountant likes QBO, but I can’t figure it out.

Finally, bookkeeping that doesn't require a CPA degree to understand. Ambrook works the way farms do and talks the way farmers do – in our app and with our expert US-based customer service.

It’s built for ag

QBO is not geared toward our industry.

QuickBooks Online is incompatible with ag tax forms and charges you for features you don't need. Ambrook is streamlined with workflows built for industry, like Schedule F classification and enterprise tracking.

It tracks profitability for you

Couldn’t get anything out of QBO, so I stopped.

Ambrook brings all your financial activity into one place, not spread across a dozen siloed pages. Generate real-time P&Ls and balance sheets that can drill down by enterprise, location, project, and even per-unit production metrics.

I’m in the books day-in and day-out and I just knew it needed to be easier for me. Best decision ever was to quit QuickBooks and start using Ambrook!

Wendy · Yubeta Cattle

4 hours later, I was able to categorize all of this year's transactions while in the car delivering. This would have taken me a week on QuickBooks and the tags are extremely accurate now!

Jared · Naked Grazing

Finish out December with QuickBooks and then make the transition to Ambrook. They're awesome! I have multiple simultaneous enterprises: grazing services, meat sales, and wool sales. Ambrook has more detailed analytics for your profit/loss, specific to agriculture.

Nicolas · Maine Organic Farmers

Ambrook's monthly plans currently are mostly cheaper than QB, especially for the features you get. Ambrook was designed specifically for farm businesses – it allows a farm to set up their bookkeeping to track across both enterprises (Veg, Flowers, Chickens) and market channels (CSA, farmers market, restaurants).

Laura · Shelton Farm and Ranch

I just can't tell you how thankful I am for Ambrook right now! My husband and I have dreaded this stuff for years! I love accounting, but was not happy or satisfied with Quicken or QuickBooks! It has been SO frustrating for so long! I'm so excited to be on our way to a new chapter in our farm accounting with a GREAT program!

Zach · Re:Farm

I've been using Ambrook for our farm accounting and have been very impressed. We have used QuickBooks, Wave, Excel – none compare.

Lindsay · HR Bar 3 Ranch

It's super user friendly and way, way easier to learn than QuickBooks. I'm able to find out things that I would normally have to calculate separately on a spreadsheet.

Sean · NOFA NJ

Onboarding to Ambrook was very thorough, and the training was easy to follow. The software itself is so intuitive and versatile for our growing organization.

Brandon · Chrysalis LandWorks

We are loving the collaborative bill payment workflow in general. It's been fairly seamless with our team and we have the most accurately tagged transactions we've ever had!

Jacob · JG Livestock

All of a sudden, I can start doing managerial accounting—looking at each enterprise and determining which is the most profitable. And I can do it out in the field!
