Overall Satisfaction with Wdesk

Used Wdesk to create and update financial statements and other similar documents. It made it easier to update a single set of financials and have the numbers linked throughout the document, so an update in one area would lead to a refresh in all other areas the same tagged number was referenced. Previously, this would have been a very manual process, and things could have easily been missed leading to inconsistencies within the same document for the same number.
  • Linking Numbers.
  • Updating Numbers.
  • User Interface.
  • Tagging takes a while to get the hang of.
  • Customer support feels light.
  • Lag when switching between pages.
  • Tagging
  • User Interface.
  • Ease of Use.
  • Saved Time.
  • Allowed Team Members to Focus on More Analytical Activities.
Before using Wdesk, tie-outs were completed via an Excel table. This provided a good format for financials and linking, but the actual text and paragraph style areas of the financials being prepared are better suited to Word than Excel. Wdesk combines the best of both tools, making it easy and intuitive to update numbers throughout.

Wdesk is great for companies that are publishing lengthy financial statements or similar documents where the same numbers will be referenced in multiple places. With Wdesk, you can load your financials directly to the tool and mark what numbers tie to which part and know that they will always be updated.
