From FloQast to Stacks
SWITCHING FROM LEGACY CLOSE MANAGEMENT TO CONTINUOUS CLOSE
More and more finance teams are moving off traditional month-end close tools like FloQast and BlackLine. Those platforms organised the close by putting a structured checklist around it. But the way teams close has changed. In this session we’ll show how a continuous close works in practice, and how teams are moving from FloQast to Stacks without losing any of the work they’ve already built.
AI in Action
You'll leave knowing what a continuous close looks like in practice, with books that stay current through the month instead of a scramble at period-end, plus a clear path to get there from wherever you are today.

ABOUT THE MASTERCLASS
What you'll learn
Why teams are moving off FloQast, and how to make the switch
FloQast organised your close, but humans still need to do the work. That's why finance teams are moving to a continuous close, where the books stay current through the month instead of piling up for a period-end scramble.
Koen Bentvelsen, GTM Lead at Stacks, shows what that looks like in practice: how the close work will get done for you by agents, the work your team does by hand today. Then Lauren Hargreaves from Customer Success shares what she has seen from teams making the move, including how quickly they migrated and what changed after.
And you'll see how teams move from FloQast to Stacks in about 30 minutes, without losing the work they already built.
Why teams are moving from FloQast
Floqast manages the close as a structured checklist. But a checklist coordinates the work; it does not perform it. In this session you'll learn:
Where checklist-based close tools were strong, and where they fall short as expectations rise
What a continuous close is, and how it differs from a monthly checklist you tick off
How Stacks does the reconciliation and close work
Why teams paying for two platforms are consolidating onto one
How to move from FloQast to Stacks in under 30 minutes
Switching is not a big-bang project. Most teams are up and running on Stacks in about 30 minutes, with nothing they built in FloQast lost. In the session you'll see:
How the move from FloQast to Stacks works, start to finish
How to run both in parallel while you get comfortable
What you gain beyond the checklist once you're on Stacks
