    I used another vendor for close management before, and comparing the two, FloQast is easier to use and the site navigation is much easier. The looks and feels of the site are more engaging and pleasant. As mentioned before in the previous question, their Journal Entry posting functionality is not suited for a company with multiple entities since it only allows you to book an entry when debits and credits are hitting the same entity

    Easy to use and can be customized at certain level[s] based on the organizational requirements. Availability of customized report[s] and metadata to be included in the report generation. Comprehensive risk assessment module and questionnaire tracking for the audit feedback. Centralized directory to store the data and share across the audit department or with specific auditor.

    Pros
    FloQast
    • 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.

    Cons
    FloQast
    • 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

    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.

    Usability
    FloQast
    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

    Reliability and Availability
    FloQast
    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.

    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

    In-Person Training
    FloQast
    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.

    Online Training
    FloQast
    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    FloQast
    At the time we picked FloQast, they were the most cost effective and easiest tool to use. Fast forward a little bit, and Numeric has come to market. I really lie Numeric to be honest and feel that their pricing is better and for that lower pricing, they include more functions. However, we continued with FloQast for ease of continuity and my team is time strapped. What that said, FloQast is great - nothing wrong with it other than it could be cheaper.

    Return on Investment
    FloQast
    • 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
