Many firms still have to manually manage their fixed assets!! The headache of managing fixed assets in an old complicated accounting software, or in microsoft excel can be quite time consuming and prone to errors.
Does your company have several thousand assets on the system, many of which were obsolete or no longer in service?
No one had updated the details for several months?
Do you have to manually download, copy and paste fixed assets transactions into excel and then try to manually manipulate the data and re-categorise assets, re-calculate depreciation, add manual adjustments for your disposals and new acquisitions etc.
Do you use a bespoke accounting software that had been written many years earlier by in-house staff who were no longer with the company...and the Fixed assets are in a mess.
The opportunity cost can be quite high to the business and very stressful for the finance controller!
