SYDNEY, Oct. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FloQast, an Accounting Transformation Platform created by accountants for accountants, announced today a strategic consulting partnership in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region with CFGI, a global leader in advisory, and consulting services. CFGI supports the Office of the CFO and Private Equity Sponsors with all critical finance and accounting operations. The collaboration combines the power of FloQast’s Accounting Transformation Platform with CFGI’s extensive industry expertise to transform critical accounting and finance processes, including the financial close, and compliance and internal controls management.

Today’s businesses are under significant pressure to transform their accounting and finance operations for greater accuracy and more valuable data and insights— critical for steering organisational strategy.

This empowers them to work collaboratively, reduce errors, and accelerate record-to-report and compliance management processes. CFGI’s deep understanding of finance transformation and optimisation, regulatory environments, and industry-specific challenges will enrich the partnership by providing tailored consulting services to clients seeking greater efficiency, accuracy and scalability.

"FloQast is proud to extend our successful partnership with CFGI into the Asia Pacific region, building on the strong foundation we've established together in other markets with 350 shared customers – and growing – and more than a hundred FloQast implementations,” said Jason Toshack, Managing Director of FloQast Australia. “This collaboration comes at a critical strategic moment for many organizations, and we’re excited to continue providing valuable resources as they pursue financial transformation.”
