FloQast adds amortization automation, and is hiring | Accounting Today
In January, right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit America full force, FloQast raised an injection of approximately $40 million for product development and growth. The company has been sitting on the cash since then, planning and re-planning for a near-term future that was changing rapidly. Now, the company is hiring, and has just announced added features to its automated reconciliations solution.
"We mapped our three disaster scenarios," Mike Whitmire, co-founder and CEO of FloQast, said. "We planned to miss our business forecast by 75 percent, 50 percent, or 25 percent. We made personnel and paused hiring decisions based on a 50 percent miss, but now we're seeing we only missed by about 25 percent. We're now hiring — not as many as originally planned, but we're hiring 60 instead of 100 new people, and evenly across the company.
