Accountable lets you view and edit your clients' amortization tables directly in the app. This article covers how to access the amortization table, mark assets, and adjust depreciation entries to match your records.
1. What can you do in the amortization table?
From here, you can access your client's amortization 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. How do you edit a client's amortization table?
As an expert accountant, you can modify the depreciation table of your clients directly in Accountable. This gives you the 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 is this useful?
Accountable uses linear depreciation. When an invoice for an asset is encoded and depreciation continues automatically, the calculated figures do not always match depreciation already applied elsewhere.
A common example: an accountant has been managing a depreciation table for an asset in their own system, and now wants to continue in Accountable. When the asset is added in Accountable, the linear calculation generates a schedule that does not match the figures already recorded externally.
Previously, this required workarounds. Now, you can edit the depreciation table directly in Accountable to match the figures from your own records, keeping everything consistent across both systems.
What are other situations where editing is useful?
An asset was originally booked with the wrong depreciation period
The depreciation amount needs adjustment 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 do you access the depreciation table?
Open your client's account
Go to the Amortization section
Click on the asset you want to modify
Click on the three dots (⋮) next to the year you want to edit
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.
