Black Owl Streamlined Our Lease Disclosures—Easy, Cost-Effective, and Fast

It consolidated a lot of Excel spreadsheets into a software solution. It also automated lease disclosures saving a considerable amount of time. Black Owl is very easy to use and easy to implement and integrate within the process. Also very cost effective, especially when compared to other lease software packages.

User-Friendly with Powerful Reporting

I really like Black Owl Lease Accounting Solution because the user interface is very user-friendly and attractive. The design is well thought out and the reporting package is sophisticated, which supports monthly reporting, internal management, and disclosure reporting. The ability to customize the solution to meet my company's specific business requirements is a huge plus. We have a lot of information at our fingertips through the reports, which adds efficiency and accuracy to our analysis.

A Complete Lease Accounting Platform for Ongoing Operations

In a prior role as a Big Four audit and advisory partner, I worked with multiple clients on lease accounting under ASC 842 and IFRS 16 and have seen first-hand what works well in ongoing operations. Black Owl is one of the most complete lease accounting platforms I have seen in practice. It is built for ongoing operations, not just initial adoption. It handles day-to-day lease lifecycle work well, including modifications, reassessments, terminations, renewals, and non-standard payment patterns. It also supports complex requirements like multi-entity and multi-currency reporting, foreign exchange impacts, and both lessee and lessor accounting in a single platform. The team understands lease accounting and the reality of month-end. I have recommended Black Owl to clients and I will continue to do so.
