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.

Time-Saving and User-Friendly with Stellar Support

I love that Black Owl Lease Accounting Solution is very user-friendly, and the support from Greg and Derek is excellent. They are always open to feedback and suggestions. It saves a great amount of time by eliminating manual calculations for things like the present value of right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, the incremental borrowing rate, and required disclosures under GAAP, especially when dealing with multiple leases. The integration with a client's proprietary accounting software and QuickBooks works perfectly. The initial setup was pretty painless, with Derek helping a lot with the setup process.
