FMIS Fixed Assets Pros and Cons
We loved the robust, accounting-first approach of FMIS Fixed Asset , making it a great choice for multinational companies across every industry. We found the In Tray bulk import tool a great time saver for anyone looking to upload a high volume of assets in a short period of time.
We also found FMIS Fixed Assets is also great for companies looking for fast implementation and easy training. But the annual subscription might be too much for very small companies with limited assets.

In Tray Imports
One standout feature FMIS Fixed Assets has to offer is the In Tray. This feature allows users to bypass manual asset creation and upload a high volume of assets in bulk. Customizable fields get carried over, and any potential issues get marked with a bright red ERROR so you can review those assets before they get added to the system.
Assets can be classified based on all sorts of customizable codes, categories, and subcategories. This classification then makes it easier to select assets based on shared criteria.
Accounting Standards Compliance
FMIS Fixed Assets provides the tools you need to comply with accounting standards like:
- IFRS
- SORP
- Sarbanes-Oxley
- IAS
- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
- Component Accounting
What Features Are Missing?
FMIS Fixed Assets could have used:
- Inventory Tracking: FMIS Fixed Assets was developed by accountants and thus has a stronger focus on the accounting side of fixed asset management. Some additional tools, like QR code or RFID readers, would make it a little easier to manage the physical side of assets. There are add-on modules for asset tracking, equipment maintenance, and stock and inventory which provide some of this functionality.

Summary
After reviewing FMIS Fixed Assets software, we’ve found this solution is a great solution for companies looking for a robust, accounting-focused fixed assets system. Another great benefit this software offers is the ability to grow with add-on modules, such as lease accounting and equipment maintenance. There are also several partner integrations available for consolidating and sharing data.
Very small businesses, such as those with only a few dozen assets, might not be able to justify the annual subscription. However, with a base cost of $3,000 per year for a single-user license, this will depend on the company and the assets in question.
User Reviews of FMIS Fixed Assets
Of all the programs we looked at, FMIS was the only one that could meet our specialized reporting needs. We had government requirements to report fully depreciated assets and needed to set up asset associations for reporting. Their implementation team was also fantastic and we were so impressed we are deploying them to manage our lease reporting. I would highly recommend them.
