Product overview

Core lease accounting capabilities

AssetAccountant is lease accounting software that brings right-of-use lease accounting, finance leases, and fixed asset management together in one system. Built for AASB 16, it covers the lessee side of your leases — no separate lease spreadsheets required.

Lease register

Maintain lease terms, payment schedules, accounting settings and related balances in a structured register.

Right-of-Use (ROU) assets

Calculate and track ROU asset balances using configured AASB 16 policies and approved source data.

Lease liabilities

Track opening and closing liabilities, interest, payments, remeasurements and current/non-current presentation.

Lease journals

Prepare period journals for ROU asset movements, interest, payments and liability reclassifications. Review, export or post journals through supported workflows.

Payment schedules and interest

Generate schedules using the implicit rate in the lease when readily determinable or the incremental borrowing rate.

Lease modifications and remeasurement

Update the payment schedule and the applicable incremental borrowing rate, and adjust the related right-of-use assets and lease liability when lease terms change.

Make good provisions

Calculates and manages your make good provisions — capitalising restoration costs into your ROU asset and unwinding them over the lease term, with zero manual spreadsheet work.

Reporting

Produce lease reports that support monthly reporting and year-end disclosures.

Finance arrangements

Finance arrangements and financed assets

AssetAccountant also handles hire purchase, chattel mortgages and other financed-asset arrangements alongside your fixed asset register.

Hire purchases and chattel mortgages

Manage asset finance arrangements by entering the amount financed and payment schedule alongside the related assets.

Multiple assets per lease

Link multiple financed assets to one supported finance arrangement.

Lifecycle events

Handle refinancing, CPI adjustments and terminations, and adjusting leases in bulk.

One system

Leases and fixed assets, together in one system

When leases and fixed assets are managed in separate systems, finance teams may need additional reconciliation and duplicate data entry. AssetAccountant brings lease accounting and fixed asset management into one system, giving finance teams a clearer view of right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, financed assets and the wider fixed asset register — without maintaining separate spreadsheets and disconnected records.

Supported standards

AASB 16 lease accounting for Australia

Australian organisations applying AASB 16 need to recognise most leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and lease liability. AssetAccountant supports the lessee-side workflows required to manage these balances, schedules, journals and subsequent lease changes in one system.

Initial recognition

Create the lease liability and right-of-use asset from the payment schedule and applicable interest rate.

Ongoing measurement

Track interest, current and non-current liability balances, payments and right-of-use asset movements across the lease term.

Lease changes and reporting

Manage modifications, remeasurement, CPI adjustments, make good provisions and terminations, with reports supporting lease accounting and disclosures.

AssetAccountant also supports IFRS 16 and ASC 842 for organisations with reporting requirements in other jurisdictions.

Integrations

Connect with supported accounting systems

Review and post lease journals through supported accounting integrations. Available import, posting and synchronisation workflows vary by integration.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Why our clients love AssetAccountant

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!"

The system is straightforward to use and has various options for both asset tracking and depreciation to make it suitable for most organisations."

"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."
