Strategische KI-Kollaboration statt simpler Automatisierung

Enterprise accounting teams cut close time in half, reduced external audit fees by 30%, improved internal audit efficiency by 15%, and achieved payback in under 6 months.

FloQast commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ study in January 2026, interviewing decision-makers at complex, global organizations to uncover what happens when enterprise accounting teams deploy FloQast.

Nur 5-6% der Finanzfachkräfte nutzen KI strategisch und genau diese Pioniere profitieren am stärksten von der digitalen Transformation.

Im Vergleich zu Nicht-Nutzern profitieren sowohl Buchhalter als auch CFOs von den Vorteilen der KI-Integration...

"Overall, it's an excellent product with great user adoption. With companies of our size and larger, it's almost impossible to actually close without having it. 
I think people would literally lose their minds now to go backwards."

The Transformation Is Real

Organizations in the study went from chaos to confidence:

Before FloQast:

• 11–15 day close cycles
• Repeated SOX control failures
• Missed SEC filings (one org was 1.5 years behind)
• Zero visibility into whether reconciliations were actually happening
• Material weaknesses driving up audit fees by 30%

After FloQast:

• 5-day close cycles
• Material weakness remediation
• Zero post-close adjustments for 3+ quarters
• Real-time visibility and accountability
• 30% reduction in external audit fees
