Great product, good service
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to keep track of close dates and close statuses. Custom tasks on the checklist make tracking workflows very easy and task analytics are great. Customer service is always promt and great at providing a solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
While there plenty of good online training options a few more/more detailed options would be nice. Also attachment file sizes are capped, which can cause issues sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our old service wasnt doing what we needed and FloQast fit into our needs perfectly
A brilliant system you can tell is written by accountants
What do you like best about the product?
I think the system is a great tracking tool for completing an accurate set of accounts. The ability to have teams prompts when reconciliations go out of balance, and the ability to add all working documents to the system is great. It makes tracking the completion of the accounts file much quicker, and gives the ability to track and monitor colleagues areas of responsibility. I can add notes and assign them to particular employees, and be notified when they resolve these. The reduction in printing and all cost savings will be vast, not to mention the improved environmental impact of saving paper.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time I haven't come accross anything that I would particularly say I dislike about the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from paper based to electronic. Most of our work was already saved electronically but for the purpost of an accounts file was still paperbased. Now the file is on Flowast, all documents are saved and able to be viewed quickly and easily.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
FQ was introduced 3 months ago in our company, very easy to learn. We use FQ for monthly reconciliation with multiple files, that we can store directly on one drive. I appreciate clear interface and the comment feature improving preparer-reviewer communication.
What do you dislike about the product?
The default amount of notifications is flooding my inbox, I am yet to find out if these can be somehow filtered.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reconciliation is now taking less time than before, comments are useful for providing tips and immediate feedback.
Lack of vision and strategy makes me cautious
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement and fits with current processes. Customer support is responsive and helpful. Sales team was great working with during onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
FloQast was strong when they were the only other option from Blackline. Over the past couple of years they've seemed to focus on creating new SKUs to get more money from customers without adding a lot of value to their core product. This has allowed other companies like Numeric to pass them in functionality including how they're incorporating AI. Hopefully things can turnaround for FloQast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped us focus on getting recons done as part of the close process. Better format for the close checklist rather than excel how we were previously tracking close.
Easy of use and smooth implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Implementation process itself was super easy and had great support from FloQast Team.
The new system has been well adapted by our team with well organised trainings. Alos very easy to use.

FloQast has helped streamline our close process. It's a great tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how FloQast allows my team to get organized and streamline our close process in accounting. I have found that it helps us reconcile in a better way and make sure we have reconciliations for all accounts on our balance sheet.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish FloQast had a better way to keep track of one-off tasks that do not necessarily relate to a certain closing period. I feel like having an area where my team could come together and create a list of tasks that need to get done, whether apart of the reconciliation process or not, it would be helpful for sure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, FloQast has helped solve the problem of not having reconciliation workbooks for smaller, less material accounts on the balance sheet. I now know what is going on with all my accounts because I have to reconcile them each period, which can get lost in the clutter of close previously.
Has made an enormous difference
What do you like best about the product?
Customer service fantastic and very user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Add ons costing extra money and cost per license for minimal users should be lower.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensuring all balance sheet recs prepared and reviewed each month and controlled close.
Close management
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool for close management and variance analysis. Keeps everything together in one place
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it to integrate with Workday ERP better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all reconciliations updated and in one place
FloQast - Affordable Alternative to Blackline
What do you like best about the product?
Quick to learn, easy to implement, various features that can be added or not included based upon your needs with a much more afforable tag than Blackline.
What do you dislike about the product?
New features are rolling out often which do have a beta period to work out any kinks. They don't always seem to be useful, however they may be more useful for other industries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easier organization and keeping everyone on track month end tool.
Streamlined the Closing Process with Great Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
FloQast has streamlined our close process in several ways:
1) FloQast allows us to create custom checklists that ensure that we don't miss anything. The checklists can be updated anytime change is needed.
2) The reconciliation process was a game changer for us. Coming from manual spreadsheets to FloQast introduced us to fantastic tools like Auto-Rec and the Amortization Schedule for prepaids.
3) FloQast allows us to set deadlines and view the status of those deadlines with the analytics tool. This is another way that it keeps us on track.
In summary, FloQast has changed the way we close the month, reconcile accounts, and stay on schedule with due dates. We are very happy with it!

What do you dislike about the product?
The reliance on Microsoft OneDrive has created minor issues at times. Because our reconciliations are saved on a shared drive, we occasionally lose connectivity. We can usually troubleshoot this on our own in less than 5 minutes, and rarely need IT assistance doing so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FloQast took a very manual process, with very large and complex spreadsheets and streamlined our reconciliation process. This has reduced the amount of time it takes to close the month and allows our employees to move on from month-end close much faster.
