FloQast
For FloQast this is another vindication of its presence in the Financial Close market. It recently closed a new funding round and delivered new AI capabilities for reconciliation.

Accounting teams that leverage both Tipalti and FloQast can increase the efficiency of their accounts payable processes through to delivering a faster period close. FloQast believes that its solution reduces the close time by as much as three days faster.
Marc Craver, head of business development, FloQast commented: “Accounts Payable is a critical component of the month-end close and FloQast is excited to partner with Tipalti. Accounting teams using both FloQast and Tipalti are able to streamline their AP processes and expedite the time it takes to close, always assured that all data is accurate and complete. Together our solutions improve audit readiness, reduce fraud risk, and further speed the close process.”

Enterprise Times: What does this mean?
Tipalti is celebrating the addition of two software vendors and a channel partner to its ecosystem. MHI is a leading NetSuite partner. Its addition may help Tipalti to better penetrate the NetSuite ecosystem in the US. It also needs to look further afield. Other solutions may take market share with NetSuite expanding quickly in other countries. What is not clear from the information available is what the integration to FloQast will specifically bring. The Affise integration has been in place for several months and this announcement reiterates the advantage the combination can bring.
