We design and build all our upgrades based on what our clients want and what we know they’ll need.
What our clients say about Nakisa's lease accounting software
We worked closely with the Nakisa team to build a solution that would fit the size and requirements of a corporation like Nestlé and that would bring value to other similar organizations in terms of scale and accuracy. Nakisa has a lot to offer in terms of flexibility, user-friendliness, ERP Integration and its cloud solution.
Now the team can update contracts much faster and save a lot of time while working on monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reports. If before Nakisa some countries needed to spend 6-7 working days to identify financial impacts, now it only takes 1 day or, during a particularly eventful month, 2 days. This is a significant win for us. This efficiency benefits both the company and end users, ensuring accurate and timely presentation of financial statements.
Not only did Nakisa provide inherent workflows and automation for IFRS 16, generating time savings, but the solution’s built-in segregation of duties, audit logs, and disclosure reporting also met all our auditing requirements... The solution integrates seamlessly with our multiple SAP ERPs, our users find the tool easy to use, and our Group Finance and Financial Shared Service Center spend far less time resolving lease accounting issues.

What our clients say about Nakisa's lease accounting software
We selected Nakisa to comply with IFRS 16 and were very pleased with the tool’s wide range of disclosure reporting capabilities. By automating and centralizing our lease accounting process, we wanted to keep the workload low, given the diversified users and entities working with the solution. Nakisa is an intuitive application that handles all types of leases. We also found it to be the only solution that fully operates in multiple currencies, which is ideal for our global business requirements.
Nakisa allowed us to close our books a week before month-end. Now anyone can easily run a report the last week of the month to verify depreciation, cost centers, and other aspects and ensure they are all correct. We are starting to use the automation of contract uploads and mass lease modifications, and they are going to be a huge win for us. I think we will get a lot of productivity gains out of those features.
We got Nakisa into more markets faster than we had any other software program we’ve ever installed. Nakisa for us is the one we are using for real estate for all our markets. The benefit that we have seen is that it can do the accounting IFRS 16 and ASC 842, and have an SAP integration.
