Hammertrack Amber does full bookkeeping — automatically. It connects to your bank and cards, reconciles transactions, and maintains a real accounting ledger. Your accountant gets a dashboard. You stop spending money on catch-up bookkeeping.
$49/month after trial. No credit card to start.
Amber includes everything in Hammertrack Blue
Job cost tracking, receipt capture, hour logging, real-time project financials — all included. Amber builds on top of Blue's foundation and adds the accounting layer. See what Blue covers →
The distinction is accounting vs. tracking. Blue tells you what each job cost. Amber maintains your actual books — the kind that satisfy an accountant and the IRS.
Connect your business bank accounts and credit cards. Transactions come in automatically. You don't need to import statements or enter anything manually for most transactions.
Transactions from your feeds are matched against your receipts and logged expenses. The reconciliation that used to take hours happens automatically.
Amber maintains a proper general ledger — the kind your accountant expects to see. It's not a simplified summary; it's a real accounting record.
Your accountant gets their own login and dashboard. They can see your books, run reports, and prepare for tax season without you having to export or explain anything.
Message your accountant directly inside Hammertrack. Questions about a transaction, requests for clarification, tax prep notes — all in one place with context.
Same 4-location redundancy as Blue: Google Firestore, multiple Google backups, Backblaze B2 in your company's name, and optional weekly local download.
QuickBooks is built for businesses with someone dedicated to managing it. Amber is built for the contractor who has no one to do that. The comparison isn't feature-for-feature — it's about fit.
