Proven Success

With over 400 successful lease adoptions, Grant Thornton has seen it all. Between inefficiencies, errors, and restatement concerns, leasing will be at the center of discussions during your year-end audit. This methodology is proven to ensure success.  

Unmatched Technical Expertise

Grant Thornton’s Leasing Center of Excellence goes unmatched in the market.

Efficient & Effective

Adoptions can take significant time and resources even with the right plan in place. We’ve seen companies take this on internally and waste resources due to lack of direction, misunderstandings, and increased audit risk. Using this playbook can save you time and money:  

One-click compliance

Generate automated journal entries and reports for month-end close and disclosures for audit with ease. Calculations are transparent and included in a SOC I Type II audit for accuracy and peace of mind.

Tools for cross-functional teams

Ensure completeness and consistency with integrated lease management tools that centralize your leases and maintain accurate data across teams.

Tools for Day 2

Automated alerts ensure you never miss another dollar on options and make it easy to manage remeasurements.
