LeaseQuery reaches revenue milestone as customers prepare for new lease accounting standards
LeaseQuery, which provides lease accounting software, reported year-on-year revenue growth of 708 percent in fiscal year 2018. The company states that the growth was fueled by “the timeliness of LeaseQuery’s solution, as companies prepare to comply with new standards for lease accounting.” The new standards, released by the Financial Accounting Standard Board and the International Accounting Standards Board, require companies to put nearly all leases on their balance sheets, which significantly shifts the way companies prepare financial statements. “2018 was another year of remarkable growth for LeaseQuery. With the deadline for public companies to adhere to the new lease accounting standards fast approaching, our solution is a critical component of helping them comply,” said LeaseQuery CEO and founder George Azih in a statement. “We grew our employee base phenomenally this year, and every employee has been key to building a best-in-class solution to a serious challenge.”
Additionally in 2018, LeaseQuery was issued an unqualified SOC report by EY, meaning that the Big Four firm found the company’s controls are described in a fair and accurate manner and operate effectively. LeaseQuery also added 94 new employees across departments.
