Feature · Purchase accounting

The deal closes.
The books open right.

ASC 805 purchase price allocation and the day-1 opening balance sheet — proposed from the deal's own data, reviewed line by line by you, and posted through the same controls as every other entry.

What it does

From consideration
to a balanced opening entry.

Allocation

Purchase price allocation

Consideration allocated across the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value, with each step-up shown against the target's book values.

Intangibles

Identified intangibles

Customer relationships, tradenames, developed technology, non-competes — identified and scheduled for amortization, not lumped into goodwill by default.

Goodwill

Goodwill as the computed plug

Goodwill is derived — consideration less net identifiable assets — and every input behind it is visible, so the number can be defended, not just asserted.

Day 1

The opening balance sheet

A balanced day-1 opening entry posted through the propose-review-post gate, on BeanStack's ledger or over the one the company already runs.

How it works

How a deal gets booked.

01

Start from the deal record

The acquisition already lives in the deal workspace — target financials, consideration, structure. The PPA proposal reads from it directly.

02

Review the proposed allocation

Every fair-value step-up, identified intangible, and assumption is a line you can see, adjust, and approve — nothing posts on its own.

03

Post the opening entry

On approval, the day-1 entry posts through the standard controls, and the amortization schedules for the identified intangibles start running.

Why it matters at close.

A new portfolio company has correct opening books in days, not a quarter-end scramble.
Every allocation assumption is documented — ready for the auditor who will ask.
The intangible amortization runs itself from day 1, on schedule engines with the backup attached.

Book the next deal
the right way.

Purchase accounting runs on the same governed ledger, provenance, and review controls as the rest of the platform.
