The Cost of Caution: Why Forward Motion Still Wins
May 16, 2025
In a significant step towards efficiency and compliance, CitySwitch has partnered with OneVizion to implement an advanced leasing and amortization solution fully aligned with ASC 842 standards. This collaboration not only resulted in substantial cost savings but also enhanced flexibility and accuracy in lease administration and accounting processes.
ASC 842 is the updated lease accounting standard introduced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), requiring companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities explicitly on their balance sheets. Adhering to these new requirements ensures greater transparency and accountability but often involves significant administrative complexity and costs.
OneVizion’s innovative ASC 842-compliant leasing solution, a key module within the Vizion Platform as a Service (PaaS), has enabled CitySwitch to slash their annual lease administration and accounting expenses by over 700%. The integrated amortization feature streamlines the tracking of leases and ensures compliance, allowing CitySwitch to efficiently handle financial reporting and long-term lease analysis.
The integration of the amortization capability into OneVizion’s platform equips CitySwitch with several distinct advantages:
Customizable Amortization Periods: Flexibility in setting amortization timelines, including adjustable start and end dates.
Automated Journal Entries: Enhanced accuracy and efficiency in financial reporting through automated entry processes.
Modular Platform Design: Easily integrated into existing Vizion PaaS environments, allowing seamless upgrades and customization.
Jeremy Stewart, Digital Transformation Leader at CitySwitch, emphasized the project’s impact, stating, “This project not only saved CitySwitch a substantial amount but also set a benchmark for future lease management solutions. The integration with the ASC 842 module within our existing Vizion instance ensures compliance and offers flexibility to our stakeholders based on their unique needs.”
Dan Phillips, Chief Strategy Officer at OneVizion, shared his excitement about the successful collaboration: “We’re proud to partner with CitySwitch to deliver a tailor-made solution that not only meets ASC 842 requirements but also significantly reduces their ongoing costs.”
This partnership highlights how customized financial solutions can greatly enhance compliance, efficiency, and decision-making capabilities. Organizations seeking to optimize their leasing and amortization processes will find exceptional value and expertise in OneVizion’s Tower Platform as a Service model.
