No more broken spreadsheets
Consolidate all your lease data in a single solution so you don’t have to waste time reconciling spreadsheets and chasing down errors.
An automated audit trail
When you prepare for your audit, your team is working off of a single source of data. So no manual compilation is needed.
Let your auditor log in
As one of our customers told us: "I added my auditors as guests and they were able to navigate to everything they needed." And, because we offer unlimited seats, there's no extra cost for you.
How hard will the software be to use?
We know, no matter how powerful our system is, it won’t be of any benefit to you if it’s too difficult to use. So we offer:
- A user-friendly design that balances simplicity and depth
- DebtBook University, a robust library of dozens of training courses, updated quarterly
- A platform, according to McHenry County, IL that’s “really intuitive” and “easy for anybody to understand.”
For the City of Vista, this ease of use pays dividends come audit time:
“With a system as easy to use as DebtBook, I can feel confident giving my auditors access, knowing they will get the information they need without needing my assistance or waiting on a response from me. This saves me, and our auditors, a ton of time during audit season.”
