FinQuery
FinQuery was founded in Atlanta by George Azih, a former Fortune 500 technical accountant and auditor for banks, insurance companies, and brokerages. The firm’s origin traces to Azih’s recognition that post-financial-crisis lease accounting standards would force corporations to overhaul manual spreadsheet processes — an insight that shaped the company's product roadmap before the mandates took effect. FinQuery sells a subscription-based suite covering lease accounting, accrual and prepaid automation, and centralized contract management. The platform handles multi-standard compliance — ASC 842, IFRS 16, GASB 87 and 96, SFFAS 54, and FRS 102 — generating amortization schedules, journal entries, and disclosure reports. Confirmed integrations include major ERP systems, with the firm citing integrations with Oracle NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics among others. Geographically, FinQuery reports adoption across 93 countries, supported by a partnership network of over 250 accounting and technology firms that resell or implement the platform. The company has held the top G2 Grid ranking for lease accounting for 20 consecutive quarters, reflecting sustained competitive position against enterprise alternatives. FinQuery operates with a team of over 200 professionals from its Atlanta headquarters. CEO Joe Schab leads the firm alongside CFO and COO Justin Smith, a former Goldman Sachs executive with a background in M&A advisory, equity raises, and debt financing. The firm does not disclose outside capital vehicles, philanthropic arms, or formal club memberships. In September 2023, FinQuery completed a rebrand from LeaseQuery to reflect its expanded product scope beyond lease accounting into accrual and prepaid automation — a signal of broader platform ambitions (per the firm, 2023). FinQuery’s structural differentiator is its posture as a purpose-built accounting subledger rather than a general ERP module. While large suites treat lease and accrual compliance as a feature checklist, FinQuery isolates those workflows and sells directly to accounting teams — a distribution model that bypasses IT-led procurement and embeds the software inside the controllership function. This architectural choice makes adoption contingent on accounting-standard stickiness, making regulatory tailwinds a direct demand driver.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at FinQuery?
FinQuery is a private operating company, not an investment firm, so it does not have a CIO allocating third-party capital. Corporate strategy and capital deployment decisions are led by CEO Joe Schab and CFO & COO Justin Smith, who previously advised on M&A and debt financing at Goldman Sachs. The founder, George Azih, remains involved as Senior Advisor.
How does FinQuery source its customers?
FinQuery distributes directly to corporate accounting and finance teams, bypassing lengthy IT procurement cycles common with broader ERP suites. The company also maintains a network of over 250 accounting and technology partners who refer, resell, or implement the platform. Adoption is frequently driven by new compliance mandates, such as ASC 842 lease accounting requirements.
What problem does FinQuery solve that ERPs do not?
General ledgers and ERP systems often lack dedicated modules for granular lease amortization schedules or accrual workflows. FinQuery functions as a specialized subledger that automates journal entries, disclosure reports, and reconciliations for ASC 842, IFRS 16, and GASB 87, reducing close-cycle friction without replacing the core ERP.
Why did LeaseQuery change its name to FinQuery?
In September 2023, the firm rebranded to signal an expansion beyond lease accounting into adjacent areas like prepaid and accrual automation. The new name reflects a broader platform strategy targeting multiple compliance-driven accounting workflows under a single vendor.
Has FinQuery raised external capital?
FinQuery does not publicly disclose its capitalization structure. The presence of a Goldman Sachs alumnus as CFO & COO and the company's self-funded growth narrative leave its external funding history unconfirmed. No venture rounds or private equity backing are named on its public materials.
