Likelihood to Recommend It's really good in ensuring all of our accounting/finance people are on the same page and knowing what work is outstanding, at what step in the process reconcs or checklists or at, if we're tracking on time, who may need some additional support, etc. It really does a great job of letting us know when accounts are out of balance and needs to be looked at again. Ensures we will be fully ready for audit and pass with flying colors.
Read full review Numeric helps connect our finance and accounting teams like never before. It works for me individually and in a team capacity. Whether tracking my own tasks or checking the progress of other collaborative tasks Numeric has been perfect. The flux analysis has also made it incredibly easy to drill down into details of where our books have changed month over month. As such, I can ask more concise questions of our accounting team.
Read full review Pros Provides a clear status of the month end close. Allows us to analyze tasks by team member and reassign as needed. It syncs with our ERP Netsuite to ensure balance sheet reconciliations can be tied out directly. It also connects with Slack to notify users of key deadlines and changes in review status for team tasks. Read full review Makes the organization of tasks super easy to monitor both others and myself Flux analysis helps prepare our variance to see where accounts may have had changes we want to highlight Is extremely user friendly to update lists and documentation Read full review Cons A setting to allow for attachments to automatically be opened within the app (Adobe, Excel, etc.) rather than as a separate tab in the browser Some of our tasks are quarterly or annual so assigning a very specific date would be helpful Eliminate the need of "closing" review notes. Once we change the status to Resolved, that should be sufficient. Make Resolved and Closed one and the same Read full review There are no areas to improve that I can think of. The team is always responsive and really open to my feedback and ideas which I love. Read full review Likelihood to Renew It has proven to enhance our procedures with closing. It is an effective tool that I would recommend to create a more efficient closing procedure and get the team more aligned. It increases the accountability among the staff and helps to keep us on task and on time. It is easy to sign into and has reminder emails for tasks that are coming up or late.
Read full review Usability FloQast is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is that the Flux Analysis feature is not great in terms of getting the information into the system. Once it's in, fantastic! But some work is needed
Read full review Reliability and Availability We have only noticed a slight slow down in accessing FloQast on a couple of occasions (near the beginning of a month when many people were likely trying to get online to close their books). The issue has always resolved itself with three to five minutes, so it's never been a hinderance.
Read full review Performance FloQast's performance is great. The pages always load quickly, and reports are completed fast! I've never noticed any slowdown in our ERP from the interface with FloQast.
Read full review Support Rating They are rapid in their response. If they can't immediately offer a solution, they continue to keep in contact with you to let you know where they are in resolving your issues. The staff is friendly & speaks to you in layman's terms, not so high-tech that you can't understand
Read full review In-Person Training The FloQast team members are just so personable. FloQast has clearly done a great job hiring people who are not just good at what they do, but are also fun to work with! They have placed people in the right roles and the customer benefits from this. I have enjoyed every opportunity I've had to work with a FloQast team member on training.
Read full review Online Training The online training is good. But like all online, pre-recorded training, it is never quite as good as in-person or live training where one can ask questions or get clarification. That said, FloQast has an extensive training library and most of the time, if one finds they need help on a topic, it can be answered by going to the online training and watching appropriate recording.
Read full review Implementation Rating Implementation occured before I started with the company (but despite the instruction to skip the question if I did not participate, the site required I put in a rating in order to move on to the next page)
Read full review Alternatives Considered The User Interface and implementation were the key drivers for choosing FQ compared to BL. Our team was up in a matter of days or so it felt! Even if you didn't get properly trained in FQ, you could easily figure it out on your own, which was nice, especially for a large team.
Read full review In the past, I have used
FloQast and the UI was not as appealing as Numeric; nor was it nearly as intuitive. I think Numeric is better overall and works well for our team.

Read full review Scalability We started using it with one client/customer and now use it with fourteen entities and plan to add two more in the next couple of months. It has made it possible to grow our business without hiring additional personnel. We can do more work with the same number of people
Read full review Return on Investment Floqast has reduced our closing schedule by roughly 15-20% of the time it took us beforehand. The product has been very beneficial for us during audit time when we can easily demonstrate our control workflows on reconciliation and task approvals. I can update our CFO at any point in time how we are trending towards close and can coordinate with finance as to the moment journal entries have been completed Read full review It has allowed us to stay smaller as a team as we can organize and check our work more efficiently A huge positive impact on letting stakeholders know where we are in the close process Read full review ScreenShots
