AssetTiger depreciation and custom reports Depreciation schedules built in

Capital equipment and grant-funded assets are spread across departments, each with its own records. Annual audit and federal grant reporting demand one reconciled, defensible source.

Fixed asset tracking software maintains the financial side of your physical assets, recording purchase cost, depreciation, useful life, and disposition so the books match the building at audit time. Unlike general asset tracking (which focuses on custody and location), fixed asset software serves CFOs, controllers, and business managers who need capitalization records, depreciation schedules, and clean journal-entry exports. AssetTiger links each line of your depreciation schedule to a tagged, scannable physical object.

What it does

Everything you need to track an asset, without the clutter.

Research equipment depreciation

Run Straight Line or Declining Balance depreciation on capital research equipment, with book value and useful life tracked by grant and lab.

Federal grant compliance

Tag every federally funded asset with its grant code, so 2 CFR 200 compliance reports tie back to real equipment in the lab.

Multi-campus capital register

Keep one capital asset register across every campus and department, so the business office sees a single number that matches the floor.

Disposal and surplus tracking

Document every disposal or surplus transfer with reason code, proceeds, and a clean audit trail, so retired equipment leaves the books cleanly.

Audit-ready business reports

Generate capital roll-forwards, useful-life remaining, and depreciation-by-department reports in the format your business office and auditors expect.

Capitalization thresholds

Set capitalization thresholds by asset class so small purchases get expensed automatically, and only real capital equipment lands on your depreciation schedule.

AssetTiger runs Straight Line or Declining Balance depreciation each period and exports journal entries ready for the ledger.
