In the fast-paced world of insurance agencies, accurate financials aren’t optional – they’re the foundation of everything.
Yet, we hear the same story over and over again: “I’m just not confident in my AMS360 numbers.”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many independent insurance agencies struggle with inconsistent reports, unexplained variances, or month-end headaches in AMS360. The good news? These issues are common – and solvable. With the right processes and support, you can take back control of your numbers and make decisions with confidence.
At Angela Adams Consulting, we specialize in helping agencies clean up, optimize, and maintain AMS360 financials so that your books actually tell the truth about your business. Let’s dive into why these problems happen, what’s at stake, and how we can fix it together.
Why So Many Agencies Struggle with AMS360 Numbers
AMS360 is a powerful system – but it’s only as good as the data that goes into it.
Even experienced agencies often run into problems like:
- Unreconciled Direct Bill Payments
Premium payments don’t match carrier statements, leaving balances that never quite clear. - Trust Accounting Confusion
Agencies aren’t sure if their trust account is fully reconciled—or if they’re in compliance with regulations. - Download Errors & Missing Transactions
Carrier downloads don’t always sync properly, creating gaps or duplications in reports. - Lack of Consistent Processes
Different staff handle tasks in different ways, so workflows are inconsistent and results vary. - Limited Training on AMS360 Accounting Tools
Bookkeepers may know general accounting but not the insurance-specific nuances inside AMS360.

The Risks of “Messy” Numbers
If you can’t trust your AMS360 reports, it’s not just an accounting issue – it’s a business risk.
- Bad Data = Bad Decisions
Owners and managers rely on reports for growth planning, staffing, and expense control. Inaccurate numbers mean decisions are based on guesswork. - Compliance Concerns
Trust account errors can put your agency at regulatory risk, with serious financial consequences. - Missed Revenue
Unapplied payments or errors in commission tracking could mean you’re leaving money on the table. - Stress & Inefficiency
Month-end shouldn’t be a crisis, but for many agencies, it feels that way – every single month.
The bottom line: unreliable numbers can hold your agency back.

Another agency came to us frustrated that their production reports never matched revenue. After a cleanup and process overhaul, they finally had accurate data for the first time – and used it to make better hiring and marketing decisions.
