Fixed Assets Are More
Than Numbers in a System.

See the whole lifecycle. Find the real problem. Fix what matters.

Three decades in fixed assets and I am still fascinated by them. We diagnose and transform the people, policy, process, data, systems, controls and hard-won knowledge behind your register, then build AI tools alongside your team, in the systems you already have. You own them, and a person stays in charge of every decision.

WHERE WE LOOK

Your fixed assets are telling you something. There are fourteen places to listen.

A register is the output of an entire operating environment — people, decisions, handoffs, systems, habits, and one heroic spreadsheet nobody talks about. So when the numbers start misbehaving, the cause is almost never where the symptom showed up. Reconciliation trouble usually began upstream in projects. A data complaint is often a governance question. A software headache turns out to be configuration, training or process wearing a very convincing software costume.

Looking at all fourteen at once is the entire trick — and honestly, it is the most satisfying part of this work.

Governance & ownership

Who decides, and where authority actually sits.

Policy

Thresholds, lives and definitions — written, current, applied.

Process & handoffs

The seams between Projects, AP, Accounting and Operations.

People & capability

Whether the team has the depth and time this demands.

Data & lineage

What each field means, and whether it can be trusted.

Systems

Whether the configuration prevents a problem or merely records it.

Integration

What happens when two systems have to agree with each other.

Controls

Whether errors get prevented or just discovered later.

Security & access

Who can change what, versus who should be able to.

Reporting

Whether leadership gets consistent answers to consistent questions.

Documentation

What is written down, how current it is, whether anyone uses it.

Knowledge dependency

How much of this lives in one person's head.

Risk

The real exposure if one thing goes unnoticed another year.

Performance

Time, cost and rework — where effort actually pays off.

We look across the whole lifecycle to establish what is genuinely happening, why it matters, and what deserves your attention first — then we talk about fixing anything.

FLAGSHIP ENGAGEMENT

Fixed Asset Health Assessment

Diagnose before you treat. Every doctor knows it; somehow software projects forget it.

The assessment examines your lifecycle across all fourteen dimensions and turns what it finds into something genuinely useful: current state, root causes, real risk, and a sequence for what to do first. Findings written to be acted on — never filed, never softened into mush.

WHAT LEADERSHIP RECEIVES
  • Current-state health and maturity view
  • Material findings and supporting evidence
  • Root-cause themes
  • Risk and consequence prioritization
  • Quick wins and a sequenced roadmap
SCOPE

Every assessment is scoped to the organization it is for.

How many entities and locations are in play, how many systems hold the data, and which asset classes and lifecycle stages are in scope all shape the work, so it is agreed in conversation first.

WHAT FAC DELIVERS

Three ways in, one whole lifecycle.

Most engagements begin with a diagnosis and grow into defined work. Each offer has its own page, with the honest scope on it.

Flagship

Fixed Asset Health Assessment

Diagnose the operating environment, with AI readiness built in, then clean up and convert the register, including Sage Fixed Assets and ERP migrations.

Explore the assessment

CIP & Capital Projects

CIP oversight and closeout, capitalization, the bonus-depreciation date work, and AI workflows for CIP with a person approving each one.

Explore CIP & capital projects

Strategic Advisory

The ongoing relationship: complex decisions, software and AI tool choices, prompt and workflow tuning, and keeping the know-how in your organization.

WHY FIXED ASSET CONSULTANT

Three decades in, and still genuinely obsessed.

I am not a CPA, and I am not going to talk to you like one. I am someone who has spent a career inside fixed asset systems, data, capital projects, implementations and reporting — the messy operational middle where this work actually lives. What you get is not a generic consulting framework with fixed assets bolted on. It is deep specialty applied to your entire environment.

And it belongs to a firm now, not just to me. The methodology, the assessment structure and the delivery model are built to be repeatable, documented and handed to your team — because a client who becomes dependent on their consultant has bought the wrong thing.

Three decades in fixed assets

Angela Bolton's career spans accounting, systems, data, capital projects, implementations and reporting — most recently inside Sage Software.

Independent by design

Nothing to sell you but the truth. No licences, no quota — the recommendation is whatever your environment actually needs, including "not much".

Whole-environment method

Governance, policy, process, people, data, systems, integration, controls, security, reporting, documentation, knowledge, risk and performance — examined together.

Flexible engagement models

Defined assessments, scoped projects, knowledge transfer programs and retained advisory.

ENGAGEMENT EXAMPLE

A CIP mystery that turned out to be a handoff nobody owned.

A healthcare system with 275+ facilities arrived convinced they had a CIP reconciliation and reporting issue. The real answer sat upstream and it was almost charmingly simple: nobody agreed on what "finished" meant, and no human being owned the handoff into the asset register. Five months later they had a centralized, controlled, audit-ready CIP framework — and that handoff had a name attached to it.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY

Digital Twins and the Fixed Asset Lifecycle

What happens when a live building model meets the handoffs a register depends on.
FIELD NOTES • COLLABORATION

One real building. Three experts. Seven days.

A live digital twin was pointed at a real building, and the automated decisions on top of it were only allowed to act on evidence they could verify. The lesson for fixed assets: no single system or process covers the lifecycle alone — and working out where the handoffs fail did not take months.

CLIENT PORTAL

Secure access for active engagements.

Active clients get a private, controlled home for the working materials of an engagement — asset registers, CIP schedules, reconciliation workbooks, documentation, milestones and knowledge transfer resources. Because your asset data has no business living in an email thread.

Portal access

Access is set up individually when an engagement starts. Sign in below, or request access and Angela will get you set up herself.

START A CONVERSATION

Let's have a Fixed Asset Health Conversation.

A real conversation about what is actually happening in your environment — and whether an assessment, a project, or honestly nothing at all is the right next step.

No idea which category your situation falls into? Wonderful. Say exactly that, and we will start with the diagnosis instead of the sales pitch.
