## What the story says

GWI's finance team replaced a manual, spreadsheet- and email-based close process with FloQast Close Management, adding amortisation and auto-reconciliation features. They also use it for checklists, team collaboration, and automated preparer-reviewer audit controls.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of FloQast and GWI, not ours.

> The simplicity of FloQast tools has made the platform integral to GWI’s daily accounting, and has delivered the results that the team was looking for - not least reducing Close completion time from 10 to 8 days.

> I’ve implemented quite a few systems in previous roles, and FloQast is probably the easiest integration I’ve ever done. After training, I was able to roll it out myself to the wider finance team.

> Emmy Gaulter, Senior Finance Manager
