Overall Satisfaction with FloQast

My company uses FloQast to manage our close process. We use the checklists and reconciliation function. We assign items to users as preparers and reviewers. FloQast links to our accounting ERP and automatically updates they balances when refreshed. We also house our reconciliation schedules in FloQast allowing us to quickly tie out and sign off on account balances once reconciled. We also utilize the notes function.

Pros

  • the dashboard and UI is easy to use
  • It has good integration, for example it's compatible with slack for notifications
  • Quick notifications when an account goes out of balance.

Cons

  • Automatic refresh when looking at reconciliations. Currently we need to manually refresh each time
  • The notes function. When a note is unassigned it is automatically closed. We must reopen if we want to leave an open note
  • FloQast Remind used to be easily accessible from the FloQast site, but now it doesn't seem like I can access it from FloQast
  • After implementing FloQast my company has been able to reduce the time to close from 15 days to 8 days
  • With the time added back we've been able to work on other projects further improving the department performance
  • Leadership has strategized quicker by acting on financial reporting that has been available quicker.
We have used ReMind. Remind has dramatically saved the amount time spent sending out emails. For example we would reach out to vendors to inquire if any services were rendered that have not yet been billed at the end of the month for accruals. Given the volume of vendors we needed to reach out the automation of ReMind and centralized UI has been a great help.
By providing a centralized close hub it has made our yearly audit easier. Our schedules are all saved in FQ and we can save an additional support files needed in FloQast as well. This has helped internally as well because it shows the items are signed off, a sign off is removed and resigned, and balances are updated. Reporting can be downloaded to show complete changes.

Do you think FloQast delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with FloQast's feature set?

Yes

Did FloQast live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of FloQast go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy FloQast again?

Yes

It is a great tool to centralize and manage the close process. Before my company used FloQast we were managing our close using excel spreadsheets. The whole team has visibility on the progress of checklist items, reconciliations, and open notes.
FloQast is not good at helping identify what is driving a variance in a reconciliation that is still a manual process.
