Month-end close has become faster and team now focuses on higher-value reconciliation work
FloQast has positively impacted our organization by decreasing our month-end close time from 10 days to five days. The reduction in close time has affected my team and the organization overall by making things a lot more clear and streamlined. Our preparer can log in at the beginning of the day, see what is on their to-do list, what is high priority, and at the higher level, it allows us to focus on our value-add tasks and not focus so much on the rudimentary administrative month-end close task of compiling checklists and compiling support, as FloQast more or less automates all that for us.

It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation, and we haven't had anything come up that the program has not been able to solve
The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results. So, if we wanted to look at our financial trends and put it into some type of graphical interface for people to look at, we still have to leverage Excel for that. The dashboards aren't as usable as maybe some of the other solutions, such as Tableau or other BI tools. The application that we use today for our BI tools is Tableau. That's how people absorb information. We don't really use the functionality or dashboards within Planful because of the robustness of Tableau. That's our single source of data. If Planful was better or more comparable in terms of features and functionality, we could probably leverage that in Planful.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"FloQast has positively impacted our organization by decreasing our month-end close time from 10 days to five days."
"FloQast has positively impacted my organization by helping our month-end close be more streamlined, and at my previous company, it helped us go from a 15-day close to a 10-day close and then a 6-day close."
"I believe the ROI is very high."
"It has helped us speed up the turnaround time on our consolidation. We don't have to do reporting in Excel anymore, which has cut down on the errors and the efficiency of our close time."
"Planful has probably cut our time in half, given that we can now leverage the cloud-based services to interact with our subs for getting their forecast inputs."
 

Cons

"FloQast could be improved with more robust automations, meaning if a reviewer marks it reviewed in the support, that could be reflected in FloQast as well, and vice versa."
"Some of the behind the scenes processing for the simulation engines has a learning curve to use in that there are certain changes that need to happen for the reporting to be "Live"."
"The part that we liked about Excel is that it had a better interface in terms of just graphical illustration of our results."
