Asset & Equipment Planning
Model capital purchases with depreciation, lifecycle, and the impact on your balance sheet and cash flow.
Asset components let you model capital expenditure and the resulting depreciation charge on your P&L and net book value on your Balance Sheet.
Adding an Asset component
Click '+ Add Component' → select Asset. Name it descriptively (e.g. 'MacBooks — batch 1', 'Office Fit-Out', 'Patent').
Asset settings
Enter: Purchase amount, Purchase date, Useful life (in months or years), Residual value (amount remaining at end of useful life — leave at 0 for full write-down), and Depreciation method.
Depreciation methods
Straight-line: same charge every month (most common). Reducing balance: higher charge in early periods, decreasing over time. Enter the annual reducing-balance rate %.
What feeds where
Purchase: a cash outflow in the Cash Flow statement (Investing Activities) on the purchase date. Depreciation: monthly charge on the P&L under the Depreciation line. Net Book Value (NBV): on the Balance Sheet under Fixed Assets each month.
Multiple assets
Add a separate Asset component for each significant capital purchase, or group similar small items (e.g. 'IT Equipment 2024'). ForezynPlan aggregates depreciation across all Asset components.
