7 Best Lease Accounting Software Platforms for 2026

Lease accounting software manages the calculations, journal entries, and disclosures required by ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87/96. These standards forced organizations to recognize most leases on the balance sheet, creating a permanent compliance obligation that requires accurate amortization schedules, modification tracking, remeasurement calculations, and period-end disclosure generation for every active lease.

Most lease accounting platforms solve the same narrow problem: compute the right-of-use asset and lease liability for a portfolio of leases. The difference in 2026 is how much manual work the platform eliminates beyond the core calculation.

What to look for

• Standard coverage - ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87/96, and dual-standard support for organizations reporting under multiple frameworks
• Lease data extraction - ability to read lease agreements (PDFs, scans) and extract key terms without manual data entry
• Modification handling - how the platform handles remeasurements, terminations, renewals, and impairments
• Journal entry automation - automatic generation and ERP posting of monthly amortization entries
• Audit trail - complete history of every calculation, modification, and adjustment for auditor review

1. Arvexi

Arvexi is an AI-native EPM platform with a lease accounting module that handles ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87/96.

Best for: Organizations that want lease accounting unified with their close and reconciliation platform, with AI extraction eliminating manual data entry.

• AI document extraction reads lease PDFs and populates terms, dates, payment schedules, and escalation clauses automatically
• Full ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87/96 calculation engine with dual-standard support

• Prepaid amortization engine for leases with front-loaded payments

Pricing: Included in the Arvexi platform subscription. No separate per-lease pricing. Typically 30 to 50 percent lower total cost than standalone lease tools when you factor in the elimination of a separate reconciliation platform.

How to choose

Start with your standard. If you only need ASC 842, most platforms on this list will work. If you need IFRS 16 or GASB 87/96, verify the platform actually supports them (not all do, despite marketing claims). If you need dual-standard reporting, the list narrows significantly.

Evaluate extraction capability. Manual data entry is the bottleneck for lease accounting adoption. Platforms with AI-powered extraction (Arvexi, Trullion) eliminate most of that work. If you have 200-plus leases, extraction automation should be a primary evaluation criterion.

Consider the broader close. Lease accounting does not exist in isolation. Every month, lease journal entries need to post, lease accounts need to reconcile, and lease balances need to consolidate. Platforms that unify lease accounting with reconciliation and close (Arvexi) eliminate the manual handoffs between separate tools.

The standalone lease accounting tool is becoming a legacy category. The future is lease accounting as a module inside a unified close platform. See how it works.
