LeaseQuery, a provider of comprehensive lease accounting software, hired Griffin Larkin as a technical lease accounting manager. Larkin will provide customers with an understanding of the current lease accounting standards (FASB Topic 840) and assist them in their transition to the new ones that go into effect in January 2019 (FASB Topic 842 and IFRS 16).

“Griffin is a formidable asset to our growing family,” said George Azih, LeaseQuery founder and CEO. “The auditing knowledge he’s gained from working with a company known to have one of the best forensic accounting departments in the U.S., coupled with his attention to detail, will benefit our clients exponentially.”

Prior to LeaseQuery, Larkin served as an audit associate at Bennett Thrasher, where he serviced a variety of client industries, including manufacturing, construction, hospitality and distribution.

“I’m really happy about joining LeaseQuery,” Larkin said. “The fact that this software was created by accountants, with the complexities of lease accounting in mind, makes this a great product. To join a company that enables me to help others be successful in our field is an honor.”
