For finance, accounting, and controllership teams

Turn every lease into accounting the auditor can't argue with.

ASC 842 and IFRS 16 compliance held continuously, with the lease itself as the source of truth.

Why it matters

Apply the lease to every calculation that changes what gets paid, recovered, or reported.

REAL keeps payment schedules, accounting calculations, CAM, CPI escalations, percentage rent, and landlord reconciliations tied to the current lease and amendment chain, with the governing source attached to every calculation.

01

From the lease to the journal entry.

REAL reads the governing lease and amendment chain, builds the payment schedule, builds the accounting maturity schedule, and generates the journal entries, one connected workflow instead of four separate handoffs.

02

One record, from term to entry.

Every calculation for a location carries the same lease term and amendment chain, so the payment schedule, the accounting schedule, and the entries never drift out of sync with one another.

Classify, calculate, and post every lease, automatically.

REAL classifies every new lease and runs the calculations from the lease itself. Journal entries post on schedule, every figure linked to the clause that produced it.

Stop rebuilding the lease between payment and close.

Most teams rebuild the same lease terms across a payment system, an accounting workbook, and the general ledger. REAL keeps one lease record behind all three, so nothing has to be re-entered or reconciled by hand.

Remeasure modifications the moment they happen.

When a lease changes, the books have to change with it. REAL runs the remeasurement, posts the adjustments, and traces the trail back to the clause that drove it.

Catch every variance the moment it posts.

Invoices, payments, and accruals are checked against the lease the moment they hit the books. When the numbers don't match, REAL flags the variance with the clause that proves it wrong, well before the close cycle catches up.

Keep the accounting current every period.

A renewal, a modification, or a rent change updates the payment schedule, the maturity schedule, and the journal-entry impact together, so the books never fall a period behind what actually happened on the lease.

Carry operational changes directly to the books.

Operations and accounting share one lease. A clause shift on one side updates the entries on the other, with no second upload and no drift between what the team sees and what the books say.

One lease record from payment through posting.

The governing lease drives the payment logic, the maturity schedule, and the attached journal entry, so nothing gets re-entered between steps and nothing drifts out of sync with the source.

Purpose-built for every part of the workflow.

Every workflow, one context

Every workflow gets the full real estate context.

Lease, financial, construction, facilities, and portfolio workflows run on the same asset or location context. What one workflow learns becomes usable by the next, without rebuilding the evidence every time.

Lease Accounting

Frequently asked questions

  • REAL reads the governing lease and its full amendment chain and builds the payment schedule directly from that source, capturing base rent, escalations, and any negotiated changes without a manual rebuild each time the lease is touched.

  • The maturity schedule is the ASC 842 / IFRS 16 amortization of the lease liability and right-of-use asset over the remaining term. REAL updates it automatically whenever the lease changes, a renewal, a remeasurement, a rent change, so it never falls a period behind the payment schedule it is built from.

  • Yes. Once the payment schedule and maturity schedule are current, REAL generates the journal entries with the governing lease clause attached to each one, so the entry is ready for review with its source already documented.

  • REAL applies the amendment to the same lease record, then carries the change through the payment schedule, the maturity schedule, and the journal-entry impact together, so the remeasurement is booked from the same source rather than reconstructed by hand.

  • No. REAL feeds your existing ERP and general ledger, it builds the payment schedule, maturity schedule, and journal entries from the lease and hands them off with the source attached, rather than replacing the systems you already post to.

  • Lease AP Automation checks invoices and payments against the lease before you pay them. Lease Accounting is the calculation layer behind the books: it builds the payment schedule, the accounting maturity schedule, and the journal entries from the same governing lease.

  • Yes. REAL classifies each lease, runs the applicable ASC 842 or IFRS 16 calculations from the lease itself, and keeps compliance held continuously rather than rebuilt at quarter close.
