What do you like best about Bloomberg Tax & Accounting Fixed Assets?

BNA FA is something I implemented last year. I did about 2 hours one on one training with a trainer, who was extremely knowledgeable about the product. Afterwards, I called for one off questions I had and was able to implement and use immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bloomberg Tax & Accounting Fixed Assets?

Some of the categories are a bit confusing. It just takes some time to get used to the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bloomberg Tax & Accounting Fixed Assets:

I've used Oracle and FAS previously for fixed assets. Oracle is very unforgiving and doesn't allow much change. It has been quite a while since I used FAS and don't remember much about the platform. BNA FA allows you to easily change or remove assets to get to your desired product. I am a one person tax department, so I need tools to help me work quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bloomberg Tax & Accounting Fixed Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to pull stuff immediately rather than waiting for advisors to provide, which takes weeks. It cuts down the time needed to do modeling for the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bloomberg Tax & Accounting Fixed Assets?

I like the scalability of the software. It can grow with a company without any problems. It also has the essential feature of being able to calculate and produce depreciation reports for both Tax MACRS depreciation methods, as well as any other standard accrual/book depreciation methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bloomberg Tax & Accounting Fixed Assets?

The functioning of adding or removing assets is cumbersome if you are entering 30 or 40 new assets for an entire year at one time because you have to manually enter each one. This takes up time if you are managing fixed assets for more than one company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bloomberg Tax & Accounting Fixed Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem of client consistency. Most clients would not be able to produce a reliable/accurate fixed assets report if they had to track all assets themselves each year. Businesses don't always keep accurate records and will forget or not provide by mistake information on more than half their assets sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
