Opportune has significant experience with current best practices to assist clients with the most complex technical issues including, but not limited to, the following:

Revenue Recognition

In a post-ASC 606 environment, Opportune partners with its clients to implement efficient and practical accounting solutions for complex, structured revenue contracts and new or evolving revenue streams. We leverage our depth of experience from the public and private company ASC 606 implementation processes across industries to support companies with the following workstreams:

  • Perform technical accounting analysis and documentation pursuant to ASC 606

  • Advise on ASC 606 disclosure requirements

  • Develop accounting policies and related procedures

Lease Accounting

ASC 842 requires the recognition of long-term operating and finance leases on a company’s balance sheet, which has resulted in an estimated $1.5 to $2 trillion of leased assets and liabilities being recorded on public company balance sheets. The impact of adoption is often broad-reaching within an organization and requires a cross-functional approach to ensure a successful implementation and facilitate ongoing compliance with ASC 842.
