Lease Accounting

Clients come to us when overwhelmed with their business’s lease accounting needs. All leases – whether operating or capital leases – must be included on a company’s balance sheet under both Accounting Standard Codification Topic 842, or ASC 842, and IFRS 16. To comply, companies must be mindful of how leases are negotiated and reported and ensure accurate values of every lease’s assets and liabilities over its life. By the time audit firms enter the picture, leases are already executed and the opportunity to structure them in a manner optimal to the company’s primary financial metrics will have lapsed. The risk of unintended consequences on results is significant.

Blythe Global Advisors has a proven track record of helping clients resolve lease accounting issues. We hit the ground running for our clients, from startups to brand name entities based in the U.S. and worldwide, leaving them better positioned to meet both their reporting obligations and strategic objectives.
