Egnyte + FloQast: Close Your Books Faster in the Cloud
At the end of an accounting period, accounting teams are required to close temporary accounts like revenue and expenses into the equity of a business's balance sheet. If you spent more money than you made, then you have less equity in your business.Sounds simple, right? Not really.Any accountant will tell you that closing the books is a multi-faceted, multi-tenanted problem, and it includes pressure from the business to hand over financials as soon as possible. An accounting team has to complete a complicated checklist including manually matching data between multiple systems (i.e. Excel workbooks, your ERP system) that don't talk to each other. This leaves a lot of room for inefficiencies and human error.Month End Close Software Built by AccountantsBuilt by accountants for accountants, FloQast helps accounting departments streamline, manage and enforce the month-end close process.
