What's the 2018 fire truck worth on your books?

faManager keeps your tangible capital asset register: what each asset cost, its amortization calculated to the day, its net book value, and where it is. Send us the spreadsheet you use now and we'll import it for you.

Sample data. Opening + additions − disposals = closing.

Your spreadsheet works fine until someone asks about row 5.

A lot of municipalities keep their tangible capital asset register in a spreadsheet that one person maintains. It holds up most of the year. Then the auditor asks why a closing balance doesn't tie to last year's, or council asks what the town office roof cost, or the person who built the file retires.

In faManager, amortization comes from one calculation instead of a column of formulas, each edit is logged under the name of the person who made it, and your auditor can have a read-only login.

Built around the year-end schedule

The summary report rolls every asset class forward: opening cost and accumulated amortization, additions, disposals, amortization for the year and amortization on disposals, through to closing net book value.

A year-end schedule by asset class

Run it for any date range and export it to PDF or CSV. Separate additions and disposals reports list the individual assets behind each number, so the auditor can trace a total back to the grader that made it.

Amortization calculated to the day

A $385,000 grader bought June 15, 2026, amortized straight-line over 20 years, gets 199 days of amortization in 2026: $10,495.21. A half-year convention would book $9,625.00. faManager amortizes by the days you owned the asset; it doesn't apply half-year or full-month conventions.

A record that survives staff changes

Everyone signs in as themselves with a Viewer, Editor, Admin or Owner role, and every change to an asset is logged with their name and the date. When your finance clerk retires, the register stays behind.

Photos, documents and QR tags

Attach photos and PDF invoices to each asset, record where it lives (Public Works yard, fire hall, lagoon), and print QR tags that open the asset's record when scanned. Add your own fields, like a condition rating.

Disposals with the journal entry drafted

Record the sale of the old tandem and faManager works out the gain or loss and drafts the disposal journal entry. Periodic amortization entries are grouped by category with your GL codes.

Send us your spreadsheet. We'll import it for you.

We match your columns to faManager's, go over the result with you before anything is saved, and carry forward the amortization you've already booked, so your opening balances agree with last year's statements.

If some rows are missing a date or a cost, like the town office roof, we'll send you the list of gaps to fill in before the move.

What to send us

  • Your current asset register, in Excel or CSV
  • Your asset classes and the amortization rate or useful life for each
  • Last year's tangible capital asset schedule, so we can tie the opening balances

New council this fall? Start the term knowing what you own.

A current register puts a schedule by asset class in front of council at budget time: what the municipality owns, what it cost, and how much of its book value is left, without anyone rebuilding a spreadsheet the week before.
