Who it is for
One system
AssetAccountant brings IFRS 16 lease accounting and CRA capital cost allowance calculations into the same fixed asset platform. Finance teams can manage right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, payment schedules and fixed asset records without maintaining disconnected registers.
Supported standards
Canadian organisations reporting under IFRS generally recognise most leases on the balance sheet through a right-of-use asset and lease liability under IFRS 16. AssetAccountant supports the lessee-side workflows required to manage these balances, schedules, journals and subsequent lease changes in one system — alongside CRA capital cost allowance for the rest of your fixed asset register.
Create the right-of-use asset and lease liability from the payment schedule and applicable discount rate.
Track interest, current and non-current liability balances, payments and right-of-use asset movements across the lease term.
Manage modifications, remeasurement and CPI or index-linked adjustments, with reports supporting lease accounting and disclosures.
AssetAccountant also supports ASC 842 for Canadian subsidiaries and organisations with US reporting requirements.
Integrations
Fixed assets and leases run in one platform, with journals reviewed and posted through supported accounting integrations using shared GL mapping. Available import, posting and synchronisation workflows vary by integration.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
From Big 4 firms to solo accountants, public company CFOs to corporate finance teams;
— here’s what they say about our fixed asset depreciation and lease accounting software:
"Up until 2021 we had been using Excel spreadsheets to calculate and manage fixed asset tax depreciation for the group's registers, which was not sustainable. To address this and to implement automation of the process, we researched solutions offered in the market, including by the large accounting firms and specialist software providers. After thoroughly vetting AssetAccountant as a vendor, testing the software and its calculations, and reviewing the company's data security, we committed to implement the software for all tax fixed asset registers for the Whitehaven Coal group. Since implementation we have been very satisfied with the decision. The software is intuitive, robust, easy to use, and accurate. AssetAccountant's commitment to ongoing development of the product's features has also been impressive."

"After being introduced to AssetAccountant in 2020 by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, I carefully reviewed the software's functionality to suit our complex fixed asset depreciation and lease accounting requirements. For example Buildsafe acquires, disposes and writes off thousands of assets including partial transactions. We also need flexible reporting and detailed journals. I have found the software to be enterprise standard, robust and precise. The software is a very elegant blend of beauty and smarts. The ongoing support, product development and assistance has been responsive and reliable. An amazing team and product. Thank you."

"Big Boy Jocks On.... Ever wanted the big company fixed asset system without all the clunkiness and overthinking on the part of the software developers (I'm looking at you Thomson Reuters...)? Well then you need AssetAccountant. It provides just the right mix of complex depreciation calculations and beautiful user interface. It's a system designed by accountants and executed perfectly by developers. The integration is seamless with Xero (you can sign into AA with Xero credentials which is awesome if you are already running Xero on your browser) and journaling synchs are very flexible between the two applications. Then there is the price. I challenge you to find a more robust fixed asset system at these price points. Well done AssetAccountant. You get me. I now have my big boy jocks back on for fixed asset management....and they fit!"

"I have seen a lot of niche products come and go but the one constant has been the lack of a decent fixed asset register. I was recently invited to see the latest incarnation and it did not disappoint. I am confident that both accounting firms and corporate clients will be lining up to use it — I have already been extolling the solutions' virtues."

"We initially came across AssetAccountant when researching potential replacements for the Xero asset register. AssetAccountant sparked our interest due to its ability to easily and transparently forecast depreciation, transfer assets between sites, revalue assets and asset part disposals. The AA team have been extremely helpful which has provided us with confidence in the product, we look forward to exploring additional features to find more efficiencies in our processes."
