FloQast compresses your monthly close - close in days, not weeks. cloudsquid prevents errors before they ever reach the close. Both improve close quality, just at different layers of the process.
01 Why cloudsquid
FloQast is close workflow software with AI-enhanced reconciliation built to compress the close cycle. cloudsquid works underneath that, verifying the transactions feeding into the close are correct in the first place. A faster close and a correct close aren’t the same guarantee.
FloQast’s reconciliation features help teams work through the close faster; they’re a helper within the workflow, not built as a standalone transaction-level control. cloudsquid fills that gap, catching errors before they surface as reconciliation items.
