Finally, financial clarity for farms

Managing a diversified farm can feel overwhelming. But Ambrook made the money part manageable. The budget forecasting is accurate, and their transaction tagging logic is smart?it auto-recognized recurring vendors. Monthly reports now actually help with decisions, instead of just going in a drawer. Even my dad, who avoids tech, likes using the app to check expense trends.

Good, but give it a few updates

I?ve been using Ambrook for just over six months. The structure is great, and the product clearly caters to farmers. But a few updates would make it perfect?like adding livestock weight tracking or crop yield logging. Even with those missing features, it still beats what I had before in terms of visibility. It has changed the way I plan each season.

Replaced Excel and QuickBooks with confidence

As someone who handled all our financials in Excel for years, switching to Ambrook felt scary at first. But it turned out to be a game-changer. It simplifies so much?syncs with our banks, categorizes automatically, and allows edits without losing data. I particularly like the flexibility in building out the chart of accounts. Now everything is cleaner.

Excellent for multigenerational farms

With family members working on different parts of the business, we needed a system everyone could understand. Ambrook allowed us to set different user access and manage receipts in real time. The receipt scanner is sharp?picks up faint ink well. It also helped us keep track of shared equipment costs across crops. Definitely makes communication clearer.

A great addition to our ag toolkit

We integrated Ambrook into our operation in January and saw results almost immediately. It allowed us to keep better tabs on operating loans, manage enterprise-specific budgets, and prep reports for our ag accountant. I will say the learning curve took a week or two to get through?but the live chat support and help articles made that process smoother.

Designed by people who get ag

What stood out to me was how Ambrook?s categories and templates mirror the language and needs of actual producers. It wasn?t a generic accounting app?it had specific tools like livestock batch tracking, Schedule F prep, and even funding documentation. Their email support feels human and responsive, not robotic. Really appreciated the attention to detail, especially in expense tagging.

Keeps us organized during busy seasons

Spring and fall used to mean piles of paperwork. Now with Ambrook, we can capture receipts, assign enterprise categories, and track vendor payments all from our phones. It?s made our workflow smoother, and reduced the time spent on accounting by a lot. Our accountant now gets clean exports with minimal corrections. It?s a godsend during tax time.

Powerful platform for modern producers

Ambrook gives our team better visibility into financials than we?ve ever had. We use it for grain and custom work, so separating those incomes is key. Tagging expenses is easy. I did notice the bank connection can sometimes pause, but it?s usually resolved within a few hours. I like the simple design and love the reporting views. The budget tracking even helped convince our lender to increase our line of credit since we could show real?time expenses. Also, invoice generation has sped up customer payments. Small thing: wish the mobile version had offline mode. Still, extremely helpful.

Farm bookkeeping doesn?t have to be a mess

Switching to Ambrook has been one of the best admin decisions we?ve made. It?s not just a recordkeeping tool?it?s a financial planning asset. Being able to create digital budgets per enterprise and monitor those budgets in real time helped us avoid overspending during planting. The receipt scanner recognizes handwritten feed store notes, which blew me away. Also, their funding tracker helped us categorize USDA reimbursements properly. There were small UI issues on Android, but they fixed them in an update. Also love that we can set permissions for farm staff with limited access. Our operation feels more organized now.

Ambrook understands ag finances

We run a mid-sized farm with crops and livestock, and Ambrook has honestly simplified how we track everything. Before this, we were juggling spreadsheets, bank portals, and folders of receipts. Now we just scan, tag, and review monthly summaries. The Schedule F support is detailed, and enterprise line breakdowns help us see what?s profitable. Our CPA was also impressed with the export files. It?s built for ag, unlike other tools that feel too corporate. Their support team really takes the time to walk you through things if needed. We?ve already improved budgeting accuracy and made more informed equipment purchases. Great value for what it offers.


img 4/5.0 03, Jul 2025

Budgeting view is helpful

It?s useful to set budgets for different farm operations and then monitor performance each month. Helped me realize where feed costs were creeping up. Had one small bug where it showed duplicate entries but it got fixed quickly.


img 5/5.0 19, Jun 2025

Everything in one place

Now I can see enterprise profit margins, track spending per acre, manage payroll, and prep for taxes?all without leaving one platform. Ambrook combines all my fragmented tools into one clear system.


img 4/5.0 08, Jun 2025

Good switch from QuickBooks

I used QuickBooks for years but always struggled with adapting it to ag expenses. Ambrook made that easy?already set up for Schedule F, and I could add staff cards with spending limits. Love the farming-first focus.


img 5/5.0 30, May 2025

Efficient grant tracking

We used Ambrook to track NRCS reimbursements. It was straightforward to assign funds to specific expense categories. Having that transparency helped us submit accurate paperwork faster. It?s a great tool if you're dealing with cost-shares or grants.


img 4/5.0 12, May 2025

Ideal for first?time farm bookkeepers

I had no formal training in accounting, and Ambrook made it manageable. The tutorials, category guides, and budgeting tools gave me a clear roadmap. I just wish the mobile version had offline access for areas with no reception.


img 5/5.0 25, Apr 2025

Makes tax time less chaotic

Used Ambrook all year and during tax prep, everything was already categorized. Exported to Schedule F directly. No more late nights sorting through paper receipts. The app design is intuitive, and I feel more prepared for financial reviews now.


img 5/5.0 06, Apr 2025

Reliable partner in farm finances

Ambrook gives us confidence going into tax season. Expense tagging and categories match our CPA?s standards. Having digital receipts and reports in one place is a big win. The mobile capture is quick, and payments are simple. Makes financial planning less of a headache.


img 5/5.0 17, Mar 2025

Time-saving and smart

Ambrook has saved me so much time compared to my old Excel system. It syncs with my bank, tags purchases, and helps me monitor budgets by crop type. I like that it's actually designed with ag folks in mind?makes a difference. The support chat is fast and knowledgeable.


img 4/5.0 01, Mar 2025

Great app with room for polish

Ambrook works very well for our farm bookkeeping. Tagging expenses is easy, and their Schedule F-ready chart of accounts helps us stay organized. The only hiccup was initial bank linking?it took a second try. Once set, it?s been reliable. Dashboard insights are great, and exporting data for tax time is smooth.


img 5/5.0 20, Feb 2025

Perfect fit for our diversified farm

We grow produce and raise poultry, so having separate enterprise tracking was huge. Ambrook lets us split costs by operation, making year-end reports clean. The budgeting view gives monthly projections that help with decision-making. The customer service is helpful, too?they walk through everything and make sure it's aligned with our accountant?s needs.


img 3/5.0 03, Feb 2025

UI feels cluttered

Too many menus on the left side of the screen. Takes time to find basic stuff like check printing. Could be simpler.


img 2/5.0 15, Jan 2025

Not fit for all livestock ops

Works fine for crops, but cattle inventory needs more granularity. No way to split birth groups or sort lots clearly.


img 2/5.0 04, Jan 2025

Grant tracking is confusing

I wanted to link a grant to expense categories, but it wasn?t intuitive. Missed deadline due to confusion.


img 3/5.0 10, Dec 2024

Mobile app drains battery

Noticed my phone gets hot using the Ambrook app for more than 10 minutes. No other app does that.


img 2/5.0 28, Nov 2024

Misread receipts too often

Receipt scanner keeps reading handwritten totals wrong. Tried multiple times, same issue. Manual entry is faster sometimes.


img 3/5.0 07, Nov 2024

Needs better export options

It works okay, but exporting to Excel messed up the formatting. Had to rework most of the file.


img 2/5.0 22, Oct 2024

Labels aren't clear

Wasn?t sure if "indirect expense" meant what I thought. A little tool-tip or example would help a lot. Ended up guessing.


img 2/5.0 01, Oct 2024

Support is polite, but slow

Asked about funding tags. Took nearly 3 days to hear back. The team means well, just too slow for urgent stuff.


img 3/5.0 17, Sep 2024

Good idea, clunky on mobile

Desktop works fine, but mobile freezes often. Especially when snapping receipts?it just closes. Frustrating during busy harvest days.


img 2/5.0 25, Aug 2024

Sync delay issues

Sometimes it takes days for my bank data to show up. Tried refreshing, logging out, even switching browsers. No fix yet.


img 3/5.0 09, Aug 2024

Good tools, but bank sync irregular

Interface clean and ag?focused bookkeeping is great. But bank sync is erratic?sometimes refreshes in minutes, other times stalls for days. Triggers manual import. Analytics and budgeting helpful. Mobile receipt capture sometimes duplicates entries. That being said, support is responsive and proactive. They ask questions rather than canned answers. Dashboard makes enterprise tracking easy. Once sync is fixed it'll be impressive. For now, it?s a solid supplement to spreadsheets or backup bookkeeping.


img 2/5.0 23, Jul 2024

Tax prep feature ok but buggy

Tax prep and reporting tools are helpful but glitchy. I tried preparing Schedule F forms and some categories duplicated. Required manual correction before export. That eats time and trust. Also, when tracking reimbursements for USDA grants, totals didn?t match invoices until I reentered them. Support noted a fix is in testing. The UI is nice, tagging is smart, and analytics feel future?ready. If those bugs get resolved, this could become staple. But right now can't fully rely for tax season or grant tracking.


img 2/5.0 29, Jun 2024

Agreed needs mature mobile UI

Love the concept: ag-first, Schedule F ready, funding tracking. But mobile app feels unfinished. Buttons overlap on Android Pixel. Receipt scanner misaligns. Twice lost edits. Push notifications often delayed. The desktop web version is solid and analytics are strong. Still, mobile is essential when working fields. Also, reporting labels didn?t match my accountant?s version, causing confusion. The US?based support was helpful but admitted mobile team is smaller. Hopefully refocus soon, because the idea shines, but execution needs polish.


img 1/5.0 12, Jun 2024

Unexpected glitches mid?season

Eight months into full?time farm use when the app crashed during uploading a vendor invoice. Lost notes I?d made. Repeated it a couple days later, even after updating app. Had to redo entries manually. The inconsistency makes one wary of relying on it for critical billing tasks. Also, mobile app sometimes times out without warning. Customer service was friendly but repeated problems make that less comforting. Budgeting features are decent, yet overall reliability needs major work. Until scanner and sync hold steady, I?ll keep paper backups.


img 2/5.0 18, May 2024

Sync issues frustrate sometimes

Have been using Ambrook for six months. Generally it does well auto?syncing bank feeds, but twice it missed entire weeks. Had to manually import. That got stressful around bill?pay deadlines. Also, mobile receipt scanner misreads handwritten entries often, so each requires manual cleanup. Support usually responds within hours, which is good, but fixes don?t always stick?repeat errors happen. Wish AI receipt accuracy would improve. Dashboard analytics are helpful though. It feels modern, and tax reporting is solid. But those recurring sync errors and scanner misreads reduce trust. For now, it's passable bookkeeping tool, but needs more reliability to replace traditional methods fully.


img 5/5.0 07, May 2024

Great switch from QuickBooks

Used QuickBooks for years. Ambrook just fits farming better, no unnecessary menus or features.


img 4/5.0 14, Apr 2024

Reliable but needs mobile updates

Works well on desktop though mobile app occasionally crashes on Android. Support says fix is coming.


img 5/5.0 25, Mar 2024

Simple chart of accounts

Customizable chart syncs with Schedule forms. Bookkeeping feels natural and intuitive.


img 5/5.0 06, Mar 2024

Love the bank card feature

Staff cards with spend limits helped stop personal/state taxes mixing. Super handy.


img 4/5.0 20, Feb 2024

Handy budgeting tool

Created budgets for each enterprise line. Some labels confusing at first. Still, very helpful.


img 5/5.0 13, Jan 2024

Great US?based support

Had a syncing oddity, support answered within minutes and fixed it. Appreciated that.


img 5/5.0 09, Dec 2023

Clear analytics, confident decisions

Real?time P&L views help plan next season. Data helps talk to lenders. Makes me feel in control.


img 4/5.0 27, Nov 2023

Good app, UI could improve

Features very helpful but UI feels a bit crowded. Once familiar, though, it's efficient.


img 5/5.0 18, Oct 2023

Efficient receipt scanning

Scanned even blurry bills; AI recognized amounts surprisingly well. Works well in low?data areas.


img 5/5.0 05, Sep 2023

Solid Schedule F support

CPA-approved chart templates make tax filing easy. Schedule F form export is a smart time-saver.


img 4/5.0 30, Aug 2023

Useful but needs minor polish

Dashboard is clear, yet occasional sync lag from bank. Otherwise helps me track cash flow well.


img 5/5.0 22, Jul 2023

Streamlining ranch invoices

Invoicing clients and paying bills is simple. Love that physical checks can be mailed out.


img 5/5.0 15, Jun 2023

Nice insight into enterprise lines

Gave visibility into profit by crop and enterprise. Can split expenses per acre/head. Makes tax prep easier.


img 4/5.0 08, May 2023

Good but minor quirks

Setup was smooth, mobile app intuitive. A couple of tags misplaced themselves but fixed quickly. Has saved hrs compared to spreadsheets.


img 5/5.0 11, Apr 2023

Easy farm bookkeeping

Works great for ranch numbers. The receipt-scan feature is clutch, and mobile capture saves so much time. Support staff is friendly and patient. Definitely helped organize funding reimbursements too.
