How Ampoly proves your month ties out.
Three moves: state the arrangement, let the feeds land, watch every dollar get accounted for — with a name on anything that doesn't match, the day it lands.
- Step 1
State the arrangement once.
In plain words: “The partner takes 30% of the margin on this placement.” Stated once → this month that's $1,920 of commission — 30% of $6,400 margin on $38,400 billed — computed, owed-tracked, and matched when paid.
- Step 2
Turn on the feeds.
Timesheets arrive by email with auto-reminders; payroll reports import from any provider; client and vendor invoices come in. Nothing to key by hand.
- Step 3
Ampoly matches — and flags.
Every line is checked against what the arrangement said should happen. What matches turns MATCHED; what's still coming reads PROJECTED; what's off gets an OFF flag with a name and a number, the day the report lands.
The $3,214 walk-through
Meridian Consulting, February — a $28M-a-year, 120-consultant firm.
( 2,412,800 − 1,742,300 − 86,400 − 171,500 = 412,600 ; the catch: 1,745,514 − 1,742,300 = 3,214 )
One catch pays for the month.
QuickBooks coexistence
Ampoly doesn't replace QuickBooks or your payroll provider — it sits on top of them and checks them. QuickBooks records what happened; Ampoly is the only place that says whether that's what should have happened, while the month is still open.
Parallel-run — no risk to try
Keep your spreadsheet. Run one month in parallel: bring last month's by-resource Excel, and if Ampoly doesn't match it to the cent, you've lost nothing. The by-resource Excel you already keep is exactly what Ampoly imports.
Objections
- Do I have to switch off QuickBooks?
- No. Ampoly checks QuickBooks and your payroll provider; they keep doing their jobs.
- My commission deals are unusual — can it handle them?
- That's the point. State the deal once in plain words; Ampoly computes it every month and matches it when it's paid. If we can't state yours in one sentence, we'll tell you in the demo.
- Does Ampoly send my invoices?
- No. It takes client and vendor invoices in and matches them to the placement, so what was billed and what was owed line up — sending stays with your existing tools.
- How long to get to a first matched number?
- Four steps: company details, import your book, confirm your first placement, turn on the feeds. Most firms see a projected book the same day and a matched close on their first month-end.
- What about the months already closed?
- Start with the open month; run a prior month in parallel against your spreadsheet if you want the proof first.
- Where does my data live?
- Your book stays yours — encrypted, and exportable anytime.
