Case Study: Stack Overflow halves time to close and achieves audit-ready financials with FloQast

Stack Overflow Halves Time to Close and Ensures Audit Readiness

Stack Overflow, the world’s largest online developer community, faced a fragmented month‑end “soft close” that relied on a simple Excel checklist and lacked detailed tasks, balance sheet reconciliations, and clear ownership. That made it hard to track progress, created an overwhelming year‑end audit workload—especially after switching to a Big Four auditor—and left the team spending weeks digging for information.

Stack Overflow implemented FloQast for its ease of use, affordability, and integrations with Sage Intacct and Excel; FloQast’s CPA team helped build detailed close checklists and workflows. The result: close time dropped from 22 to 10 days, controls and timelines were formalized, accounts are audit‑ready, transparency and accountability improved, and onboarding and remote collaboration became much more efficient.
