FinQuery vs. Occupier: Which lease management platform is right for you?

FinQuery is a strong ASC 842 compliance tool built for accountants who need accurate journal entries and compliance. When your real estate team needs dates, terms, clauses, and renewal workflows, FinQuery can no longer support. Occupier gives both teams what they need in one place, with automated deadline alerts, verified lease data, and no rekeying or chasing for updates.

Finquery

Teams run two tools side by side. Admin in one place, accounting in another.

Occupier

Consolidate onto one platform. No duplicate entry, no reconciliation between systems.

Finquery

Occupier

Finquery

Finance knows the numbers. Nobody knows the portfolio.

Occupier

Occupier gives real estate and finance a single view, for lease data, portfolio status, and compliance.

"Every quarter, I spent about half a day updating our accounting system. The reason we switched to Occupier is because all the lease changes, updates, amendments, and options are all in there, so it just flows through. Whereas with our previous system, I would have to manually enter all the data."

FAQ

How does Occupier compare to FinQuery for ASC 842 compliance?
FinQuery is a capable ASC 842 tool; the accounting calculations are solid. Occupier matches that compliance depth and adds something FinQuery can't: the lease data driving those calculations comes from human-verified abstraction, not manual entry. Fewer input errors means cleaner journal entries, cleaner audits, and less time reconciling numbers that don't match.
Does switching from FinQuery mean our accounting workflow starts over?
No. Finance keeps everything it relies on, automated journal entries, amortization schedules, and audit-ready reporting. The difference is that data flows in from a single verified source instead of being rekeyed manually. Most teams find the accounting side of Occupier familiar within the first close cycle.
What does the real estate team get with Occupier that they don't have with FinQuery?
FinQuery has no lease administration capabilities, meaning no critical date tracking, no clause management, no renewal workflows, no portfolio visibility. Real estate teams using FinQuery are either using a separate tool or working from spreadsheets. Occupier gives them a full platform for the first time, while finance keeps the compliance output it already trusts.
