Generally speaking the accountant is right, but there are exceptions..
It's not ALWAYS cheaper to buy than lease. Some leases are heavily subsidized... Some cars residual value is grossly miscalculated... (EV)
2 opposite examples: I leased 2x E-golfs for 2y each for like $110 a month with peanuts down, there is no way buying was cheaper than that. These 2 cars were almost free...
Flip side: I leased my Polestar 2 (for way more per month) - thank goodness, as it's worth $13K less now at lease end than residual and that is NOT my problem, I can turn it in and they can eat that extra depreciation... EV leases makes more sense to me (also tech evolves too fast to want to hold onto one). Buying for everything else...
