They're Moving On. So Should You.
BlackLine is getting selective. FloQast is choosing you. In February 2025, BlackLine’s CEO said some mid-market customers “just can’t really absorb BlackLine.” We built FloQast so accounting teams don’t have to absorb anything. It works the way they already do. To prove we want your business, for eligible teams, we’ll cover the rest of your BlackLine term. Terms apply.

BlackLine said it out loud
During an earnings call, BlackLine actually acknowledged that, “It’s mattered who we’ve selected as customers in the mid-market… So we’re being smarter and more prudent about that.”
Ouch. If you’re still paying for BlackLine while your team runs recs in spreadsheets and skips the task module, this probably isn't news. Your close software should fit your team, not the other way around. FloQast wants your business. So we built a buyout program to make switching easy.
Switching off BlackLine, minus the risk
Automate reconciliations, journal entries, and more with FloQast AI Agents, built-in controls, and audit trails.
We'll buy out your contract
Months left with BlackLine? For eligible teams, we’ll cover the cost of your remaining BlackLine term, so you’re not paying two vendors for one close. Terms apply.
Faster Go-Live
FloQast customers go live in 1.7 months on average, compared to 5.4 months for BlackLine customers, according to the G2 Fall 2026 Grid® Report for Financial Close
Teams that chose FloQast over BlackLine
BlackLine was supposed to run the close. For a lot of teams, half of it would still live in Excel. Some of these teams replaced BlackLine. Others evaluated it and chose FloQast. All of them decided to put the whole close in one place accountants actually use.
Looked at BlackLine. Chose FloQast.
“FloQast offered simplicity and efficiency that BlackLine couldn’t match. We weren’t interested in a six-month implementation and relying on outside consultants.”

AI built for audit scrutiny

The results speak for themselves. FloQast was built by accountants who’ve done the close, and rates higher than BlackLine on G2 in ease of setup, ease of use, and quality of support. Our team of former accountants helps you get set up, and FloQademy covers the rest.
