"Stability and Enhanced Reporting Tools making lease accounting less challenging"
4/5
What do you like best about LeaseAccelerator?

The new rollforward tool had made both quarterly reporting and audit readiness easier. We no longer need to manually prepare this report now that it is available at the click of a button.

LeaseAccelerator continues resolve one-off accounting issues resulting from rare scenarios through quarterly patch releases, but they have been able to do so this year with little to no adverse repercussions to our portfolio. The ability to "test" a new release in a BETA/Preview environment has helped ensure smooth releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeaseAccelerator?

The new software releases pose the greatest challenges to us, most recently from a modification standpoint. Some of the functionalities and the rules enabling/disabling those functionalities changed to our surprise which required us to work with the Support team in order to resolve the issues we were experiencing. Fortunately, the Support team has been responsive to most of our issues and has helped us avoid any sort of prolonged outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Push Button Reporting and Great Customer Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about LeaseAccelerator?

As a Company that reports in US GAAP and IFRS, I love that we have access to push-button disclosure reporting. The maturity analysis report and quantitative analysis reports allow us to get from raw data to disclosures quickly, and the widespread reporting capabilities make it easy to share and review reports with our regional and plant teams so we can ensure leases are being captured and accounted for appropriately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeaseAccelerator?

As with any system, there are quirks from time to time that may require engineering support or workarounds in the short term - usually thanks to a weird lease update or renewal, or finding out information after the fact that has to be backdated. However, through a dedicated support person and ticketed engineering system, we are typically able to find solutions within a 24 hour window, especially during close/reporting times.

"Lease Accelerator is a necessary tool for applying the new lease accounting standard (IFRS 16)."
3.5/5
What do you like best about LeaseAccelerator?

The most helpful things are about Lease Accelerator are: creation of monthly entries and the ability to forecast depreciation and interest expense. Also having a database of all leases in one place with terms of each is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeaseAccelerator?

Lease Accelerator was very difficult to implement. We identified several issues in which the software did not properly apply the accounting. For example, mid month lease start date doesn't properly prorate payments, $5K low value lease exemption cannot be applied for subleases, prepayments of rent due on 1st of month do not properly reduce the lease liability. While LA purports to support both IFRS 16 and ASC 842, it's mainly focused on ASC 842 standard and there isn't much support for IFRS or the differences between US GAAP and IFRS and reports, etc. are geared to ASC 842.

What do you like best about LeaseAccelerator?

The ability to have full consolidation reports in our reporting currency for about 10K leases within less than 5 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeaseAccelerator?

Since the system is still in progress, it is hard to catch up with all the changes and improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jenny Pittman of LeaseAccelerator

Hi Niv! Thanks so much for your feedback. I wanted to check in and see how things are going. You mentioned that is was hard to catch up with the changes and improvements, since the system was still in progress. Now that it's been almost a year, have things improved in that area? If you have any additional comments about the benefits of the tool, or suggestions for improvement, we would love to hear!

"LeaseAccelerator experience thru ASC842 implementation and beyond"
4.5/5
What do you like best about LeaseAccelerator?

I like the personal approach to ensuring a good customer experience from the LeaseAccelerator team, including the most senior level leaders in the organization. I also appreciate the proactiveness of the leadership team in bringing new opportunities and solutions to us to help us achieve greater financial and efficiency benefits. They bring the opportunities to us and then partner with us to work those through to completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeaseAccelerator?

I would like to see much less time locked out of the system for sweeping processes during monthly releases. This process can create situations where our team sits idle for too long waiting to re-access the system. I'd like to see this process enhanced to be more timely or allow access during the sweeping process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Continuously improving with each new version release and customer service is top notch."
5/5
What do you like best about LeaseAccelerator?

Our Customer Success Manager is incredibly helpful and holds check in calls with our team every 2 weeks to discuss any questions and open support cases, and in between the calls is very responsive to questions via email. He is also proactive to reach out if he notices anything in our lease portfolio/system configuration that needs attention. Technical Support also generally addresses issues very quickly and efficiently. It is very easy to create support case tickets and to follow the status of the ticket. I like having access to a database of training video I can watch and review as needed, the videos are easy to follow and understand. The live Velocity sessions are also very helpful to learn the system and to be able to ask questions in real time; the trainers/SMEs are very knowledgeable. The system isn't perfect as we occasionally run into issues (ie. a functionality that isn't available, a journal entry not generating correctly, etc) but the company is continually improving with frequent version updates and generally has upcoming fixes in the pipeline before we identify an issue. They will also proactively reach out to let us know of updates that cause accounting adjustments and specifically which leases in our portfolio could potentially be impacted so that we can monitor the month end journal entry export. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeaseAccelerator?

Technical difficulties occur somewhat frequently when trying to run system reports, which are sometimes remediated by switching browsers or clearing cache, but often require follow up with customer service and/or technical support. Also the journal entries generated from the system seem a bit complicated and difficult to understand a first. There is a bit of a learning curve to use the system and to make sure you are entering and updating lease information correctly in order to generate proper financial reporting data.

"LeaseAccelerator has been fantastic as the central software for all of our ASC 842 lease entries"
4.5/5
What do you like best about LeaseAccelerator?

My favorite feature of the LeaseAccelerator software is how easy and seamless it is to generate monthly lease journal entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LeaseAccelerator?

There are some reports in the system that I would like to generate using a certain lease criteria (i.e. all finance leases or all capitalized-operating leases); however these types of filters do not exist within the reporting system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
