FloQast Keeps Our Team Organized and Streamlines Accounting Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about FloQast is how it helps me stay organized by displaying all my weekly tasks in one convenient location. I can easily sign off on tasks once I’ve completed them, which notifies my manager that everything is ready for review. If any questions arise regarding my tasks, FloQast allows me to add comments directly. One of my major month-end reconciliations is linked to FloQast, and since it integrates with Excel, I can sign off on the task when the reconciliation balance falls within the acceptable threshold, signaling to my manager that it’s ready for review. I also use FloQast to comment on month-over-month variances. Our organization is working towards making FloQast the central hub for all our accounting procedures, and it truly helps everyone on the team stay organized. We rely on FloQast daily. Implantation was easy and customer service is always available and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like with any software, there were some learning curves when I first started using Floqast. However, once I became familiar with it, the platform proved to be very easy to use. I also find it quite intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Floqast keeps everything is one easy to use dashboard. It helps communication between myself and my manager as well.
User-Friendly Features Make Month-End Close a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
Floqast helps to manage the monthend close checklist and the Balance Sheet Reconciliation balance is constantly updated. And we use the Flux analysis functions. All the features are very user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I used to be able to re-assign the preparer in Flux analysis, but I no longer have the capability unless I am the admin person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Floqast helps to make the reconciliation and flux analysis process more efficient. In the past, we need to constantly run reports in Netsuite to get the latest balance. With Floqast, the balance is updated constantly or we can refresh the balance by clicking the button.
Floqast Streamlines Close Process, Needs Better Completeness Checks
What do you like best about the product?
Floqast has allowed our team to shorten our close time frame from around 12 business days down to 7. The various dashboards have allowed our team to track progress in real time, limiting the need for manual check ins on status updates. It was very easy to implement, requiring the lowest lift of some of our other platform integrations, and has been very easy to train new users on. Our company uses JEM and its been great to be able to integrate actual journal entries right into their corresponding checklist item. Lastly, we haven't required support often but in the times we have the team has been very responsive and provided valuable feedback very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Definitely would like to run a completeness check for any income statement accounts, uploading a reconciliation to compare to our ERP system's balances allows us to ensure that new account activity is captured & there aren't any transactions that were accidentally booked to a inactive or infrequently used account. Currently we are only able to run this for balance sheet accounts
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Floqast is allowing us to centralize our close process, something that was manually managed via excel sheets before. They are also starting to venture into the AI space, something all accountants are dipping our toes into. The approach has been really great so far, almost a forced approach to go slow and get really comfortable with the AI product in order to gain confidence moving forward
User-Friendly Platform That's Easy to Understand
What do you like best about the product?
the platform is user friendly and easy to understand. I like the ease of the checklists and the reminders for overdue items.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that only one person can be in the amortization at a time. I think there should be a view only option for a second user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Floqast allows us to complete month end close in a timely manner ensuring all tasks are complete. Additional it helps us to track our compliance controls.
Useful Features, Initial Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I find FloQast's checklist functionality and timely reminders really useful, as it sends notifications directly to my email about what's coming due. This keeps me organized and on track with deadlines. I also appreciate the integration with Slack, which is a very useful feature for sending out reminders, enhancing the coordination and communication within my team. Additionally, the automation capabilities, particularly for reconciliation purposes, are highly valuable. The potential for integrating artificial intelligence to deepen the balance sheet reconciliation process makes FloQast an attractive tool for our needs. Its effectiveness has kept it as our top choice over other vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, getting around FloQast can take efforts from admin perspective, indicating a learning curve when starting out. From a reconciliations perspective, I would make the software more reporting heavy by incorporating multiple aspects such as aging in balance sheet reconciliations, lag status, and the quality of reconciliations directly on FloQast. Additionally, I see a need for more customization of the filters on the checklist and reconciliation to better fit individual needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use the product for checklist and balance sheet reconciliations, finding its timely reminders and Slack integration enhance my workflow efficiency.
FloQast Streamlines Month-End Close and Reduces Team Stress

FloQast assists the month end close process in a way that genuinely reduces stress for accounting teams. The checklist functionality keeps everyone on the same page about what needs to be done and by when, which holds members accountable on their responsibilities.

What do you dislike about the product?
As a preparer I would like to be able to create recurring tasks on the checklist module. I dont understand why a preparer can create single month tasks but a manager/admin needs to be the one to make it recurring
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving internal controls to ensure area are covered during monthly close journal entries and through reconciliations and variance analysis. All of which are items our auditors want to ensure are being completed each month
Provides Awesome Features that Accountants Need!
What do you like best about the product?
FloQast has significantly enhanced the closing process for both me and my team. It provides valuable metrics that help us monitor our progress during the close, and it streamlines reconciliations by connecting account balances directly from our reconciliations to FloQast. What I appreciate most is the ability to easily see whether I am ahead of or behind schedule, which makes managing deadlines much more straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
While I have very few complaints about FloQast, there are some nuances and aspects that require workarounds to make the software fit my needs. For example, I can't easily generate a list or report of entries that have been approved but not yet posted. To address this, we've been using the notes section to run reports on these entries, and we've also considered using tags as an alternative solution. Another area that presents more of a knowledge gap for me is the use of the remind features in FloQast. I believe this feature has a bit of a learning curve, but it could be a valuable automation tool for certain close processes. Although I haven't fully explored this tool, I did spend about 10 to 15 minutes once trying it out and realized it would take some time to learn or to identify practical use cases. More training and standard operating procedures around this feature would be helpful. Another downside would be not being able to add subtasks or mark an entry partially complete. For example, for weekly entries it would be nice to mark those 25% complete if 1 out of 4 entries are completed. This could help reduce some volume of checklist items in FloQast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FloQast has been especially helpful in ensuring that reconciliations are submitted on time. I find the notifications it sends when something goes out of balance to be particularly important.
