## What the story says

Sofar Sounds uses FloQast for close management, replacing a Google spreadsheet task list. The controller tracks month-end close tasks and reconciliations across an international team, and uses the Analyze dashboard to see what is done, late, and where staff spend time.

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

> I don’t need to pull people into a meeting to ask, ‘Where are we? What are we doing?’” Ewen said. “I can trust the process. FloQast gives us a roadmap from start to finish. If I see in FloQast that someone is falling behind, then I can intervene.

> I know FloQast is giving me a true representation of where we’re at with the close. I’m not wasting my time — or anyone else’s — trying to figure out where we’re at with the close. It’s easy to see our progress, and it takes a lot of stress away.
