1. The amortization table

  • From here, you can access your client’s amortisation table.

  • By clicking on an asset, you can mark it as:

    • Broken or lost

    • Sold

Via the three dots, you can:

  • View the linked expense

  • Delete the asset if needed

2. Editing the amortization table for your clients

As an expert accountant, you now have the ability to modify the depreciation table of your clients directly in Accountable. This gives you more flexibility to align your clients' bookkeeping with their fiscal reality.

You can:

  • Adjust depreciation amounts for one or more years

  • Remove specific years from the depreciation schedule

  • Correct historical entries that were booked incorrectly

Why this is useful

Accountable works with linear depreciation. This means that when an invoice for an asset is encoded and depreciation continues automatically, the calculated figures don't always align with depreciation that has already been applied elsewhere.

A common example: an accountant has been keeping the depreciation table for an asset in their own system, and now wants to continue managing it in Accountable. When the asset is added in Accountable, the linear calculation generates a depreciation schedule that doesn't match the figures already recorded in the accountant's own system.

Previously, this required workarounds. Now, you can simply edit the depreciation table directly in Accountable to match the figures from your own records, so everything stays consistent across both systems.

Other situations where this is useful

  • An asset was originally booked with the wrong depreciation period

  • The depreciation amount needs to be adjusted due to a revision of the asset's value or use

  • A year needs to be removed (for example, in case of early disposal, sale, or reclassification of the asset)

How to access it

  1. Open your client's account

  2. Go to the Amortization section

  3. Click on the asset you wish to modify

  4. Click on the three dots (⋮) next to the year you want to edit

  5. Select Edit and make the necessary adjustments

⚠️ Any modification you make is reflected in your client's accounting and will impact their tax reporting. Make sure your adjustments are well documented and supported by the underlying invoices or contracts, so they remain defensible in case of a tax audit.

They always answer right away to any question I have, they provide clear answers, and they are very patient even when I struggle to understand. They try to explain in different ways. They are very helpful, responsive and friendly.

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
