Fixed Assets CS provides you with the necessary tools to calculate and keep track of your clients' fixed asset and depreciation activity. You can enter client data, assets, and information about those assets. Fixed Assets CS automatically calculates the correct depreciation based on the asset's method of depreciation, life, and the date it was placed in service. You can then print predefined or customized depreciation worksheets, forms, and reports based on the client's activities, asset groups, locations, types, divisions, and other associations.
