Case Study: Sofar Sounds achieves faster, more accountable month-end closes—cutting the close from 2 weeks to 7–8 days with FloQast

Sofar Sounds’ Accounting Finds New, Better Rhythm with Aid of FloQast

Sofar Sounds, a global live-music events company, was struggling with a slow, disorganized month‑end close managed on a Google spreadsheet—tasks lacked consistent sign-offs, reconciliations were hard to track, and the controller needed better visibility across an international team while planning a move from Xero to a full ERP. The company wanted a close-management solution that integrated with existing and future systems and could be implemented quickly.

They chose FloQast and went live in about a week. The platform brought clear accountability and real-time visibility, cutting the close from more than two weeks to 7–8 days, enabling remote collaboration, preserving institutional knowledge during turnover, and freeing the controller to focus on managing and developing the team using FloQast’s analytics.
