No spam — just the template and occasional asset-management tips.

A fixed asset register is the single source of truth for everything your organisation owns: what it is, where it is, who has it, what it’s worth and how it’s depreciating. This free asset register template gives you a clean, well-structured starting point in Excel or Google Sheets, with the columns finance and operations teams rely on — asset ID, name, category, location, custodian, purchase date, cost, depreciation method, useful life, net book value and status.

Preview the exact columns below before you download, so you know it fits your process. Use it to move off scattered spreadsheets, get an accurate count for your next audit, and build a base for depreciation. When your register outgrows a spreadsheet — when you need barcode/RFID tagging, mobile stock-takes, check-in/out and automated depreciation across sites — Asetavo turns the same structure into a live, multi-user asset register.
